Reviews
Few films have used color and light with such acuity - from the near monochrome of moonlight on a desolate beach to the infinite, illuminated shades of green in a bamboo forest.Peter Keough, Boston Globe
In its artfully drawn frames, a simple and universal story unfolds.Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times
The Red Turtle is beautifully, brilliantly rendered and storyboarded by Dudok de Wit the old-fashioned way.Gerald Peary, Arts Fuse
