Review of Coco

Coco (I) (2017)
10/10
Is this a Christmas movie or what?
5 December 2017
Oh I forgot, the Olaf mini movie was the Christmas movie this one was completely at the wrong time of year.

So I will review it as though it was at the right time of the year and just get on with it.

The visuals were outstanding, easily Oscar level. (But then again that is why we are seeing it in December.) The plot was a tear jerker and very successful at it too. Follow your heart is always a good reason for tear jerking.

Having grown up in the Southwest I have been familiar with the Dia del la Muertas for ages, the visuals on the masks was well known and expected. I do have an issue with this as a holiday worth celebrating, it is a pagan feast day.

So I was torn between taking the movie at face value and giving it a 10 or making complaints about it being anti Christian. I took the easy path and gave it the 10. Whatever it was about it was good at.
