Arco reminds us that suspension of disbelief is a quality of youth worth preserving.

I think Bienvenu's debut film owes too much to the Ghibli aesthetic and proposes a hopeful (perhaps even idealistic?) discourse bordering on New Age imagery, when imagining the future of humanity. [Full review in Spanish]

The tender bond between Arco and Iris, two lonely kids centuries apart, longing for companionship, holds our attention against the environmental degradation.

...little visual fanfare other than the blast of Arco’s rainbow outfits. The action sequences seem like they’re too large for a slice-of-futuristic-life story, and yet the stakes seem so little.

Ugo Bienvenu presents an incredible film through the title Arco, masterfully manipulating both a whimsical nature and the striking message of enduring love throughout the entirety of the production. The end result? A movie worth a watch anytime.

A really unique and well told story with great cast but not really necessary to watch it in the theater. The animation is fine but not to a caliber warranting paying the cost of theater time
