Ranking May 2017's Movies From Worst To Best
1. The Red Turtle
RottenTomatoes Score: 95% (8.2/10)
Box Office: The low-fi French animation has grossed $2.1 million to date, which considering its extremely limited release, isn't bad at all.
Verdict: With its wordless narrative and slow pace, The Red Turtle won't be for all tastes, but for those who can appreciate minimalist storytelling and traditional 2D animation, it's a refreshing change of pace from the glut of big-budget studio animations filled with rampant pop-culture references and an excess of colour.
First-time director Michael Dudok de Wit manages to tell a universal tale of survival through strictly visual means, and to that end it's an unexpectedly moving, aesthetically gorgeous effort that absolutely deserved its Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination.
