LUCA REVIEW FREE
Running away to the nearby town of Portorosso, Luca and Alberto seek a life free from oversight and limits. When he meets surface-dwelling sea monster Alberto, the two quickly become best of friends – something Luca’s parents don’t very much approve of. Unsatisfied with the life he leads as a goatfish herder, it doesn’t take much for the eponymous Luca to become enamored with the surface world. Energetically optimistic and delightfully joyous, Luca wears its heart on its sleeve a love letter to childhood summers and friendships. It’s like a cool glass of lemonade on a warm summer’s day – a refreshing and comforting reminder of the uplifting power of movies. In many ways, Luca represents a change of pace for the studio rather than dealing with massive existential questions (a la Soul, Inside Out) or emotional journeys ( Up, Onward), director Enrico Casarosa guides audiences on a jovial, exciting adventure.
Led by chief creative officer Pete Docter, Pixar filmmakers have a knack for bringing effective, emotional storytelling to unconventional subjects and plots – their entire reputation leans on their mature filmmaking in a medium generally dominated by easily-consumable, “dumbed-down” children’s-fare. “What if _ had feelings?” is the tagline that many people associate with the latest projects from the Disney subsidiary. From online discussions and beyond, there seems to be a general consensus on Pixar as the tear-jerker animation studio.
