Studio A24 never ceases to amaze. A documentary about a shell in my shoes. Yeah, are you kidding me? No. This is the story of an hour and a half. It's about Marcel's shell.
I didn't think a movie about a guy with a shell could be that strong. It's a miracle film that will not leave anyone indifferent. An unbearably poignant work, as devastating as it is deeply funny and entertaining. A true exploration of human relationships. The film will bring a bittersweet smile to your face every second of its 89-minute runtime. The simple life of this silly little shell and his journey to find his family is immensely satisfying. Sensitively, kindheartedly and sincerely he wants to make us all think about the enormity of grief, the phenomenon of feeling so, so terrifyingly small, in this big world.
Marcel may not know everything about life, but he will surely figure it out. And so will we.
