Mixing Gothic elements with Mexican culture, bright colors, and intricate details, the unique fairytale is both mesmerizing to watch and emotionally entrancing. Read full review

So much of the magic of “Soy Frankelda” is the sheer scale and skill with which they present the unreal, at times almost overloading the frame with their menagerie of monsters when the narrative calls for it. Read full review

An everything-and-the-talavera-sink stop-motion delight that synthesises magic, music and the macabre into a mostly exhilarating, occasionally exhausting cinematic experience, Mexico’s first stop-motion feature was more than worth the wait. Bring on its second! Read full review

I Am Frankelda can feel overstuffed with plotlines at times, but like a plastic jack-o’-lantern bucket overflowing with candy: bright, beautiful, spooky — and ultimately, a treat. Read full review

It's a touching tale with strong characters, visual spectacle and plenty of imagination. Only an overcomplicated second half, with its unsatisfying finale, prevents the film becoming the modern stop-motion classic it occasionally threatens to be. Read full review
