I almost didn’t see this movie because I was afraid it was just going to be a rip-off of the unfortunately underrated 2014 film The Book of Life. Thankfully, the only things these movies share in common is using Día de Los Muertos as their backdrops. Coco evolves into a deep family story about memory, and as someone who watched two different grandparents suffer from dementia, this film hit me right it hurts.
