The Hollywood Reporter -
This densely packed, exquisitely executed and just a teensy bit batshit film is peak Pixar. It's a vintage mix of the company's intricate storytelling, complex emotional intelligence, technical prowess and cerebral whimsy on dexamethasone.

Screen Daily -
Visually glorious, frequently very funny and genuinely profound, this is a picture which cries out to be seen on the big screen.

Total Film -
Moving ever-onward from the sequels years, Pixar gets right back in the zone with Soul. Deep, witty, and fast on its jazz-loving feet, it doesn’t miss a beat.

The Guardian -
It’s a deeply sweet, happy, gentle film.

The Playlist -
It’s a ravishing ode, too, to gestures, touches, smiles, and pithy, pointless conversations; in Soul the tiny human interactions that we so often brush over come under the magnifying glass.
