    Luca is a beautiful film in a unique style that truly gives the feeling of being in a small harbor town in southern Italy. We get to follow Luca's journey from sea monster to human, where he creates new friendships and tries to get his own Vespa to travel around the world. - Fredrik Lagnetoft

    Pixar's latest film celebrates friendship and the formative years of growing up, set in a nostalgically shimmering Italy, where two sea monsters experience the summer of a lifetime. On land. - Karolina Fjellborg

    Had "Luca" only had a little more of the emotional weight its Pixar predecessors had, this would definitely have been a must-see. - Henric Brandt

    The main moral is that it's okay to feel different. But there are many more small nuggets of wisdom that the authors have woven in with the utmost finesse. There's a nod to friendship across borders and lonely fathers that touches particularly deep. It's a simple story that still manages to touch on several points, so there's guaranteed to be something for everyone. - Mimi Dahlén

    The film's strength is the relationship between Luca and his new friend Alberto. The development of their warm friendship, with believable issues, conflicts and disagreements about what to do in the future, is something one can relate to and is brilliantly told. - Tor Aavatsmark
