A theology of memory dressed as a musical. Have the conversation you want to have.
Coco holds a 8.4 / 10 from 620,000 IMDb ratings — families keep coming back to the craft, not just the message.
Coco is 97% on the Tomatometer — certified-fresh territory. Critics praise the sincerity and the lack of cynicism.
Common Sense suggests age 8+ for Coco. Parents say the conversations after the credits are the real value.
