The montage at the beginning of the movie that shows the whole of Carl and Ellie’s relationship is perhaps one of the most perfect pieces of film making ever. A “family” movie you can bring your kids too, but adults in the audience will perhaps appreciate this adventure story in a way their children won’t be able to for a few decades. This will probably be a top 10 film for me this year, don’t you miss it.
Bechdel rating. Two women. Nope.
