Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (July 15, 2022, A24)

Marcel is an adorable, 1-inch-tall shell who ekes out a colorful existence with his grandmother, Connie, and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. However, when a documentary filmmaker discovers them, the short film he posts online brings Marcel millions of passionate fans, as well as unprecedented dangers and a new hope of finding his long-lost family.

 

by far my most anticipated of the year

 

Hadn't realized the 6/24 date was limited until I looked for showtimes yesterday. :(

Very excited about this one.

 

Yeah going wider the next few weeks, everywhere by the 15th

 

you’re all gonna love this film

 

if I love this movie as much as I think I will, then I'm definitely getting a Marcel tat

 

Saw this last night, and it’s one of the most delightful 90 minutes I’ve ever spent in a movie theater.

Also, before the movie the whole theater recited the Nicole Kidman ad and it was magical. 10/10 night at the movies.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, but if that happened in a showing I was in I think my eyes would roll so hard that they would become detached and I would never see a movie again

 

kinda surprised jenny and dean are still working together. good for them.

 

This still isn’t coming to my local AMC’s this weekend, so that sucks

 

they usually don't release schedules until tomorrow

 

Yeah but mine updated early. I’ve checked it throughout the day. 5 showings each of The Deer King & Gone In The Night but no Marcel

 

neither of those are movies

 

I'm growing impatient

 

Motherfucker how is no one talking about this. This was like the perfect movie!!!

 

it’s going wide tomorrow/friday, for one thing. definitely wish more had the chance to see

 

Because I can’t see it Mort!

 

I hope you love it as much as I did.

Do you know why I smile? Because it's worth it.

 

I blame stupid Gen Z and their dumbass Minion tomfoolery

 

I guess it's opening to major cites and not everywhere friday? I'm 90 minutes from both orlando and Miami and that's the only places it's playing in florida. I'm debating on making the trip to either city to see it friday.

 

In Boston, it's a very weird combo of theaters that has it and not the usual suburbs that get more indie movies, is at one of the theaters that hardly ever gets indie movies, and is only expanding to one additional theater this weekend. I think they're heavily expanding based off the demographic of millennials in cities that seem to love this

 

I just re-watched Stage Fright because god only knows when this will ever come to Europe.
