ITS FINALLY TIME!!! I first heard about Marcel a few years ago & watched a few of the shorts. & then when i found out they were making a long version i was like well i’ll find it one day. Then it got huge love online from all you guys & i was like so when do we get it & its taken 18 months but today Monday 20 February, i am sat in the cinema finally ready to have my heart broken by this little shell.

Im at the Odeon… remember that place. They are the only ones showing it… i know what the hell. Booo to Ant Man. But if im honest, im glad ive moved to Cineworld, not much has changed since 2020 when i last went there. Seats still need a bit of care, its very bare & a little falling apart still. Yea give me my Cineworld everyday, im never gonna moan about it again.

Its a 12:50 showing (today i have off & have been shopping) & im the only one. Theres a few parents with kids on inset days here to watch this & an older couple, but thats it. Id say about 12 others in total.

Trailers, Guardians, Shazam, Fast X & something else, but i cant remember what it was, i know it was very kid friendly tho.

& then the film started… Dont Tell Javi G & the bear that i said this but… thats one of the most perfect films of all time. & that is an understatement.

It was cliché & i knew exactly where it was going but damn it, i cried. I sobbed like a fucking baby in the cinema. I was an emotional wreck about 3 times during it. I love Marcel so much. I would do anything for that Shell. Its perfect & anyone who says otherwise & moans about its humour or style or life, i will fight you. I am having none of it. Marcel is more than perfect. & i knew i knew what was going to happen & i was prepped & i was all okay with it & was like yea this is gonna be sad but then it just hit like a ton of bricks & bloody hell. Yea. Incredible.

If you havent seen the shorts, you get an idea about them for sure & how sweet they are & how they can be broken down more, you can clearly see that in the movie. But if you have it stays true to its beauty & its delight & its jut a warm hug or a film which is so beautiful & emotional. It was such a personal heartfelt story too, it was like we were spying on Marcel & he had let us into his life for a short amount of time.

Marcel & Nan had an amazing relationship. It was perfect. IT was sweet & the whole no you can do this, its your moment go be Marcel for the world to see was amazing.

I loved how the internet & tiktok generation just took over Marcels life, that so would happen. I mean as someone whos only just joined tiktok i still dont get it. I love the fact that no one view the videos to start with as well & then bang all it took was one & everyone was in love with him.

Those little bugs in the garden…awwww
The food processor hehe
The tennis ball (bad dog) sweet
The honey…. ewwwwwww but adorable.

The Score for this film was phenomenal. It was quiet when it needed to be, but it was happy & sad at the same time & just added everything to something so simple & pure.

The little road trip they go oh ahhhhhhhhhhhhh amazing. So sweet. & yes what an idea that he world is so huge & he things the whole world is just the town he lives in. So perfect & naïve & a lovely idea. It melts your heart.

The story is so simple but so relatable (even though hes a shell) it just works & is so well written & delivered.

Im gonna stop typing. I want to see this film again like right now. Marcel is the funniest sweetest little creature ive ever seen in the world & he is perfect & if you dont fall in love with him i want to know whats wrong with you. I want you all to experience Marcel yourself, you dont need me talking about it. When i watch this again imagine how long my love fest is going to be talking about this.

Please dont tell Paddington 2, but i think ive found a film more perfect sweet & beautiful than it. Its just the biggest hug & emotional film thats been made in years.

Februray is to early to hit the golden buzzer isnt it? If this doesnt end up in my top 5 films of the year, they we will have had an epic year of cinema
