    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In an irresistible explosion of color, filled with profound emotions and hope for peace in the galaxy, "Elio" naturally claims its place among Pixar's many masterpieces.

  • 2. Game Reactor
    7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Elio" is a sweet summer vacation film with a lot of heart, even though it's a bit too predictable.

  • 3. Aftonbladet
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Another adventure to distant worlds that leads back home. Lots of talk about the possibilities of space and reflections on whether humanity stands alone in the universe. In the end, though, the same old lesson about finding security in who you are.
    - Jens Peterson

  • 5. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The boy Elio's encounter with pastel-colored space creatures in a candy-colored universe provides decent entertainment despite a thin plot.

  • 6. Cinetaste
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Overall, this is a film worth watching with the family, but I'm unsure whether it's worth the cinema ticket price, especially considering how expensive it has become for a family with children to go to the movies these days.
    - Linus Andersen

  • 7. Dagens Nyheter
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It becomes far too much of a good thing. The film is so cluttered with crazy antics that it obscures the plot, which wasn't particularly strong to begin with.
    - Wanda Bendjelloul

  • 8. Göteborgs-Posten
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In Pixar's new film "Elio", space echoes emptily. A disappointing miss from the studio that gave the world films like "Up" and "Toy Story".
    - Caroline Hainer

  • 9. Filmtopp
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: If you enjoy Pixar, "Elio" is undoubtedly a film worth watching, but this is hardly the animation studio at its finest. The film lacks the simplicity found in Pixar's most successful titles, and while the story entertains and occasionally touches the heart, it's neither groundbreaking nor stunning on either an emotional or visual level.
    - Emil Oscar Rasmussen

  • 10. Kulturbloggen
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Despite intentions to create something new and daring, "Elio" doesn't possess a single original molecule. This is a plastic, sloppy, and unimaginative mess that should never have been released in theaters, let alone produced.
