About

You’ll probably enjoy Turning Red if you like upbeat, heartfelt coming-of-age stories with big emotional laughs and a distinctive animated look; Not for you if you want a traditional, lighthearted Pixar adventure like Luca or Bao.

Pros: funny coming-of-age; heartfelt family themes; expressive animation | Cons: puberty focus polarizing; uneven humor; not for everyone
