Review: Rating –5 out of 5. I thought that the film was interesting because it describes what could happen inside somebody`s emotions when he/she goes through various experiences. It was exciting to watch great adventure within Riley’s mind. I never imagined that so many things could be happening in such a small space like your brain! I highly recommend the film – it is a must-see! (Critic: Leila Tyrrell)
