Elemental (2023)
9/10
Way better than the trailer implies.

Warning: Spoilers
The trailer is misleading, with two elemental people meeting on a train and implying romance from there. The movie is nothing like that. The two leads don't even meet like that.

Essentially, it's about an immigrant's daughter who runs from her own emotions about not wanting to run her father's shop. This combined with the desire to not let her father down causes stress leading to angry, fiery outbursts. Her outbursts lead to pipe damage and a run in with a water inspector, the main love interest who is super with connecting with emotions. They work together to fix the problem(s) and start dating in secret.

I don't want to spoil any more so I'll leave it there. This is an awesome movie with a great plot, good characters, and nuance. The scenes are gorgeous and we'll thought out.

I saw this on Disney plus, but it's definitely something I would have paid theater prices for. Good job Pixar!
