Screened: Out Of Competition

What's The Story? Inside the mind of eleven year old Riley, five figures control her feelings. Things are all going joyfully, until a move to San Francisco sends the pre-teen into emotional turmoil.
WhatCulture Says: "A not too out there reading of the film would be that its a comment on Pixar itself. The studio has made an icon of itself by delivering emotionally mature studios to a family audience, but survives thanks to its smart grasp of wonder. Toy Story as a movie deals with resisting change, while as a trilogy with growing up; Wall-E shows how humanity is saved by impossible love; Up is about death and, more potently, moving on; what makes them all work in such complete ways is the balance of joy and sadness. But its also something much more than that. Its a film about memory, nostalgia and the emotions that make you you. Pixars not just back. Theyve returned with such incredible force it seems silly that we ever suggested theyd left." Read the full review
