Coraline is a dark fantasy film that follows a young girl named Coraline Jones who discovers a secret door in her new home. The door leads to an alternate world that mirrors her own. In this “Other World,” Coraline’s “Other Mother” and “Other Father” are attentive and loving, unlike her real parents, who are often busy and distant. However, Coraline soon realizes that this world hides a sinister secret. Coraline must use her wits and bravery to escape the Other World and save her real parents, ultimately learning to appreciate the imperfect but genuine love of her real family.

Coraline Review

With an aesthetic and quirky dark sense of humor befitting a Tim Burton film (Burton has no relationship with this story), as well as exquisitely crafted designs and a unique and nuanced story told with skill and , Coraline should be an easy recommendation as Worth it for children and families. Unfortunately, it makes some wildly inappropriate choices that, combined with its rather macabre horror elements, make it impossible to recommend.
