January 19, 2010I've been anticipating this movie for quite a while - both because I'm a Henry Selick fan, but because I actually wanted to see a good movie. But regretful I have to admit that it wasn't half as great as I expected it - I just don't have the heart to rate it lower than that.

November 13, 2009Very interesting film. Beautiful, colorful art for sure. Very creative story that kind of wraps you into both worlds.

November 3, 2009This is probably due more stars but being an adult watching a childrens movie I liked it but like other films more.

October 18, 2009Pitch perfect animation with gorgeous visuals and a nice sense of the macabre, which you would expect from Selick. 'Nightmare before Christmas' fans will not be disappointed.

February 9, 2010This is not your typical movie for kiddo, this is like a nightmare of every child. Coraline is both stunning and visually amazing.

Coraline is a plucky heroine, and director Selig's imagination is indisputable. But the story falters in parts, and its dark tone could be off-putting for children. full review

Nearly everything in Coraline has been painstakingly handmade. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Coraline lingers in an atmosphere that is creepy, wonderfully strange and full of feeling. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's not just the 3-D glasses that add an extra dimension to the horror and hilarity of Coraline. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I admire the film mostly because it is good to look at. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
An animated film that might be too good for children. It arrives in time to expose the atrocious Wall-E. full review

[Director] Selick has a great fantasy filmmaker's artistry, but he lacks that overflowing Geppetto-esque love that brings puppets to life. In Coraline, he's woozy with his own lyricism. full review

February 9, 2009The movie was absolutely amazing! It kinda felt like it started about 20 minutes into the movie where she just starts searching for some secret well that there was no lead up to but that is no matter since you are so overwhelmed by the sights and sounds and interesting characters right from the get go. I loved it a recommend it to any stop motion fans.
