Leave your thoughts about Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowOne of the best family films of the year, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken has humor and heart, buoyant energy, witty and imaginative visuals, and never-less-than brilliant voice talent. |
| Original-CinJohn KirkSome jokes are a little on the cringeworthy side, but overall, they work. It’s a film that essentially hijacks the cuteness of The Little Mermaid and manages to successfully transfer it to a shy, math-loving awkward teenager who just happens to be able to transform herself into a 50-foot-tall sea-beast. |
| Los Angeles TimesTracy BrownAs predictable as the movie often is, it’s elevated by Condor’s disarming and charming Ruby, and some vivid character designs. The luminous undersea kraken kingdom is also quite a sight. |
| Paste MagazineJesse HassengerUltimately, though, the character animation and sprightly vocal performances can’t quite wriggle out of whatever formulas and secondhand story wreckage Ruby Gillman grabs to assemble its stop-and-go plotting. |
| ColliderChase HutchinsonThe characters are consistently charming, the humor sufficiently silly, and the animation often beautiful, though the standard path it takes holds it back from fully exploring the potential lurking just beneath the surface. When it all bursts free towards the end is when the film is at its best. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeRuby Gillman, Teenage Kraken charms and woos in a predictable manner. |
| EmpireHelen O'HaraBeautifully designed and voiced, this has a solid message at its heart. But it’s a well-told tale that’s suffers from being too well-trodden already. |
| Arizona RepublicKaely MonahanFor all its issues, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a good excuse to get out of the house with the family and take the kids to see something fun. And that’s what this movie is: fun. Even if I was bored and unmoved, the target audience will have a great time. |
| The GuardianEllen E JonesKraken anatomy differs from human in some aspects, but this is a film with its heart, at least, in the right place. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandKids are always in need of gracious tales about the power of being yourself in a world not necessarily built to embrace differences (of all sizes, of all kinds) and stories like Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken can do that, with fun to spare. But why not get more splashy, why not take more risks, why not get bigger and weirder, when that’s also the aim of the very story you’re telling? |
