The Red Turtle

A distinctly artsy animation about a man who washes up on a desert island and his (largely dialogue-less) adventures, this is a case of a PG-rated animation that really isn't for kids. While it's only 80 minutes, this is a film that relishes simplicity and quietude above plot and incident, meaning this is more for the arty-kinda-filmgoer. And a key incident in what plot there is falls into the "magic realism" camp, meaning you do have to just go with the film's own priorities and pacing. 

Having said that, there's distinct enjoyment to be had here. The film is, no doubt about it, beautiful to look at, and has moments of tension, sensitivity and the occasional laugh. There's also a lush orchestral score to accompany the events on screen.

In the end, I'm reluctant to wholeheartedly reccomend this because, well, it's not very plotty (and I do like plots) and I can easily see this kinda boring a fair number of people. It's in the "I liked rather than loved this" category.
