Moviegoers are saying
This French animated gem dares to blend Studio Ghibli's whimsical charm with Interstellar's sci-fi ambition, following young Arco's time-traveling adventure from his dinosaur-obsessed childhood to a dystopian 2075 where robot parents have replaced human connection. While reviewers appreciate its stunning animation and poignant themes about abandonment and technology's impact on youth, the film's ambitious scope doesn't quite stick the landing for most viewers.

Overall very enjoyable and gorgeous animation. Some favorite moments were just seeing the characters’ hair blowing in the wind, it’s done so well. It’s an ok story, but not super captivating in my opinion. Biggest complaint is I disliked most of the English dub (looking at you Mark Ruffalo) and…
Michael Callanan likedArcoSuch an imaginative and fun world filled with childhood innocence I can only imagine what it'd be like to watch this through that lens if I were a kid now
Eye Cinc lovedArcoWhat an incredible piece of sci-fi this is. A true representative of the genre, with heart, a clear vision, and very powerful messages.

Gregory Mitchell likedArcoLovely little movie, Miyazaki meets Interstellar. Cool to see Portman get behind it.
Adam Osmani likedArcoBeautiful movie that’s held back by a couple of weak voice performances.

With his debut feature, Arco, Ugo Bienvenu puts a unique, thought-provoking twist on the solarpunk genre.

Like a cross between a Studio Ghibli joint and “Interstellar,” Arco, by the French comic-book artist turned filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu, strikes a lovely balance between fantastical kid-friendly wholesomeness and real-world bleakness.
