Soul Power - Reviews

A real treat for fans of Ali and music alike.

...the perfect horror/thriller to watch right now if you’re in the mood for something creepy.

Much as 'Inside Out' gave life and personality to emotional traits, 'Soul' does something similar for the basic essence of a person.

...a magical crowdpleaser that embodies the Pixar Touch.

...a fantastic piece of work.

...a story that feels fresh and funny while retaining that unique Pixar spark.

Pixar continues to outdo itself on the aesthetic front, and the animation is stellar...

...the film’s visual adventurousness takes off as contrasting animation styles collide.

Playwright Kemp Powers co-directs and co-writes (...) and his influence is keenly felt: from the glisten of black skin, to the texture of an afro and the authenticity of the conversations in a barbershop.

Pixar takes a bold, beautiful voyage to the afterlife, and the before-life.

...one of the best Pixar movies in years...

...the jazz scenes (...) are some of the most glorious and transcendent in Pixar history.

Its portrayal of jazz is not only accurate in terms of its soundtrack of classic cuts and depiction of performance (...) but also its wider cultural context.

Foxx and Fey have a nicely bickering rapport...

...works fabulously as both a concert film and a time capsule of a time and place when gods of black masculinity joined forces to make an international statement of togetherness.

...might not ignite an existential crisis in you, but it certainly leaves you to reflect on your own life.
