Film Journal #207 - Pete Docter’s “Up” (2009)

I never though an animated film would be the one to tackle emotions such as love, loss, grief and mourning with such unrelenting honesty, but Pixar is always out to prove that animation is a medium just as capable as any other genre in exploring the human condition. “Up” is my favorite of the Pixar films and its first fifteen minutes consistently brings me to tears.
