Inside Out (2015)

When I saw the trailer, I thought the film would be rubbish. I only went because my family went. Anyhow, this film is really very charming and very, very funny! You will almost certainly laugh! 😄😄 But it's also got a sensitivity to it, and although they overlook some key things, the sensitivity remains. There's a particularity moving scene near the end that actually made me cry. (And many others in the cinema) Don't underestimate that. This is the only film I have ever cried in. I would recommend seeing it, although play caution to one thing: Do NOT show this to under-8's : a few parents did in the cinema and after one scary scene, (building falling dramatically and sadly) those kids were traumatised... 😖 also bear in mind under 11's may not get as much out of this film as they may not get all the jokes. Still, they'll have fun seeing it. ☺ You'll either love it or hate it, nothing inbetween, but I will recommend it to you. 5* for sure.☺

This film is just quite rare indeed, to find a piece of work that on the cover looks like a good animated kids movie. Oh holy mother, it is far from that, very far in fact. My beautiful girlfriend actually told me about this film, as she was studying Psychology at the time and her class Professor told them get the film and study it. Well we both watched it separately and together, it was a revelation. We had been both going through a bad time in our relationship and within ourselves. I had major problems that I wasn't getting help for, I couldn't deal with my emotions in a positive way, fear and anxiety seemed to rule. My baby tried to "fix" me many times, with all the good will in the world, however what this film shows through all it's many layers of metaphors, We can only grow and help ourselves by Loving ourselves and letting ourselves really feel emotions, good or bad, it's ok to feel sad or fear. Surrendering our egos by asking for help with an open mind and and open heart like in this film, saved me from destruction. Be thankful for the gift of life and the gift of just being you.... this film helped me see that. Thank you baby xxx

This film had great potential to show how men, women and kids think. From quarter in, the movie decoupled from that idea and spirals into a convoluted plot devoid of any insight in human psychology, comedy or entertainment of any kind. If they just stuck to real life, it would have felt more grounded and have more potential for insight and comedy. Instead this movie is about the voices in your head going on a slow drawn-out "adventure" to rescue some memories. Too slow for kids not enough insight for adults
