Movie Review: Pixar’s Latest Endeavor, ‘Luca’ Tells A Story of Self-Discovery

Luca is a 2021 American movie directed by Enrico Casarosa, the guy behind the Oscar-nominated short, La Luna, and written by Jesse Andres and Mike Jones. Produced by the legendary Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, this movie starred the voices of Jacob Tremblay, Jack Dylan Grazer, Emma Berman, and more talented voice actors.

Here is the official trailer of Luca:

What ‘Luca‘ Is About:

When it was announced, the internet assumes that the film is going to have its similarity with the Call Me By Your Name movie. Like the mentioned film, this animation tells the story of two boys taking a journey into a forbidden place during summer in Northern Italy. It involves a lot of having fun around in shorts, riding scooters, and expressing jealousy when a third party appeared. One thing that wasn’t mentioned yet is that those boys are sea monsters that will revert to their scaly form if they come into contact with liquid.

What Can Be Said About ‘Luca‘:

Although it is not the usual kind of Pixar movie, this movie is full of many plots. Centered around a summery, touristic mood, it shows the ups and downs of a friendship. It’s about the risky discovery of pleasure but also a pleasure to discover. With so many of these elements colliding yet, it gets back to the main friendship between these two monster boys and focused on the moments shared between them. The film concentrates on the heart of this story and it will quietly break yours.
