How in the world can I describe this film? Like a summer camp project by Julian Schnabel? Terrence Malick's idea of a mockumentary? A poetic memoir by a perceptive child? None of that comes close to telling you what this movie is.

Whatever it is, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is a beautiful meditation on all the smallness and bigness of life.

Many of you…
