Soul pulls ingredients from different schools of spiritual thought that coalesce into something deeply poignant. Similarly, the animation toggles between photo-realism and the abstract with breathtaking ease, perhaps the most visually inventive effort by a studio that never stops inventing.

What a brilliant title too, a soulful film both thematically and in terms of the music genre. I’m glad Pixar once again comes up with a fresh concept. This one is perhaps most similar to Inside Out which also gives an imaginative insight into humanity in the most delightful way. Read more

Soul is a special and valuable session of these observations and it may very well be Pixar’s first truly adult-skewing picture. Read more

Soul leaves plenty of room for our own improvisations, producing a heartfelt composition that may be Pixar’s most profound statement to date. Read more

Soul is never quite as funny, heartfelt, or moving as the pictures that preceded it, disappointingly leaving major points of satisfaction curiously unresolved or unexplored. Read more

Er is humor en drama. Het ene moment rollen de tranen over je wangen van het lachen terwijl er op het andere moment verdriet is. Dat maakt Soul niet alleen een prachtige film, maar ook één van de betere Disney Pixar films van de afgelopen jaren.

Soul scoort vooral op het gebied van ambitie. De boodschap is subtiel en ontroerend, maar raakt ondergesneeuwd door een overvloed aan oppervlakkig sentiment. Gelukkig overtreffen de bedoelingen van Pete Doctor en de prestaties van Pixars animatiegenieën de zwaktes van de film. Read more
