'Destined to be a classic.' |
|
Empire - Helen O'Hara | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Terrifying and beautiful, believable and fantastical, this is one of the best children's films in years and Selick's finest - better even than The Nightmare Before Christmas.' |
|
The Daily Telegraph - Sheila Johnston | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Deliciously unsettling animated film' |
|
The Guardian - Philip French | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'The movie is beautifully crafted, but like the same director's other stop-motion feature, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, it will mystify and in some cases terrify younger children.' |

The Daily Telegraph - Tim Robey | Screenrush Barometer:  |

When the world of Coraline's Other Mother starts unravelling, the animation undrawing itself to fringe the screen with white space, you marvel that there are still artists of Selick and Gaiman's ambition at work in the multiplexes. |

Coraline may end up as a cult classic watched by students rather than their little sisters. |
|
The Financial Times - Martin Hoyle | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
For the grown-ups as much as the children ? perhaps more. |
|
Time Out - Tom Huddleston | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'It may be too terrifying for the target audience. But for braver kids - and parents - this is a thrilling, even challenging ride.' |
|
Total Film - Jonathan Crocker | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Rich, ingenious and frighteningly close to home, Selick's new nightmare puts him nearer to Guillermo del Toro and David Lynch than Tim Burton. See it in 3D. Then sleep with the light on.' |
|
Time | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'Stop-motion-animation master Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) turns Neil Gaiman's horror tale for kids into a carnival of odd shapes and colors as lively as it is creepy.' |
