In Marcel, we see a wealth of enviable qualities: resolve, wit, kindness and a curiosity about the world, writes phillipstribune.
And now, the feature distributed by A24, which has turned out wonderfully and, like Marcel, is just the right size.When newcomers learn that Marcel and his movie are “sweet” — that’s the adjective I heard spoken most frequently, on the way out of a recent preview screening — it’ll likely mean more customers for “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” which “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” has the misfortune to compete against in theaters. So be it.
Marcel sleeps in his “breadroom,” which is a bedroom with a bed made out of two slices of bread. Nana Connie tends a huge garden, pops popcorn kernels with a magnifying glass and, as the narrative proceeds, copes with forgetfulness and Alzheimer’s-like symptoms. That description makes the movie sound right next door, in story terms, to “Finding Nemo” or “Finding Dory.” A24′s uncharacteristically hard-sell a pushier, grabbier experience than Fleischer-Camp and Slate are after. The tone and texture of the film itself are light, deft and deadpan. There’s also a plaintive emotional pull to Marcel’s circumstances, marked as they are by the loss he has experienced and the loss he’s afraid of enduring with his ailing grandmother.
