Read my spoiler-free movie review of Elio (2025).

---

Zoe Saldana, Yonas Kibreab, Brad Garrett and Jameela Jamil are the stars of Elio, an animated fantasy/adventure about a young space fanatic who ends up on the adventure of his dreams.

‘I like it. I’m hopeful‘

The above are my precise thoughts after watching this teaser trailer. The visuals certainly have my attention. I, too, have fantasised about being up far beyond the sky because of the beautiful sights on offer. However, since I’m not going to space travel and I have zero interest in being abducted by aliens, I’m happy to settle for NASA images, my vivid imagination and movies such as this one.

Does Elio have your imagination going too? And how soothing is Saldana’s voice? Suddenly, I want her to read a book to me.

Elio is directed by Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi; Shirley Henderson and Remy Edgerly also star.

Elio Release Dates: June 20th, 2025, (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
