Inside Out (Film Review)
It’s taken quite some time to finally review Inside Out, and it’s not because I missed it in theaters. I saw it, and was going to review it, but was stopped by the little fear emotion inside my mind. See, I don’t hate Inside Out, in fact, I really enjoy it—but I don’t love it, at least not to the extent of so many viewers and critics. I enjoy Inside Out, which to me is a critic's worst nightmare: finding a critically acclaimed film considered a masterpiece to merely be “very good”. At least when I hate a beloved film, there’s passion within my words (Boyhood, Sicario, etc…)—a way to expressively release anger and disgust against the majority’s decision. But how does one go about praising a critically acclaimed film while making clear they don’t adore it?
