Rating: PG
Length: 100 minutes \/ 1.67 hours<\/p>\n

Tangled<\/em> (2010) is one of those movies that hit me at a vulnerable time in my life. Shortly after I bought it on Blu-Ray, I ended up watching it at least once for ten days straight. I had the soundtrack memorized and I still cry at the pivotal scenes. I danced to the lantern song at my wedding as the first dance with my wife. Clearly, I’m going to give this movie full marks here, but even over a decade later, I think it holds up.<\/p>\n

After college, I moved out of my home state and was finally living on my own. Even with a good job and a handful of new friends, I related to Rapunzel’s (Mandy Moore) first song of the movie: When Does My Life Begin?<\/em> There were societal expectations that I didn’t feel like I met, so seeing Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) grow to accept non-toxic masculine traits\u2014thanks in part to a musical tavern full of roughnecks\u2014helped encourage me to keep going on the path I was on.<\/p>\n

Some people argue about which Disney villain was the most evil, and I argue it is 100% Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy). Using manipulation and gaslighting to keep what she has obtained through ill-gotten means, Gothel is a terrifying look into people who exist in the real world. The emotional abuse Rapunzel suffered might initially seem fun, but Tangled <\/em>goes all in to show what it looks like to break free from this kind of imprisonment. While many movies feature self-sacrifice, Tangled<\/em> does it in the best way. Don’t take it at its Disney cartoony facade, Tangled<\/em> is a deep and life-affirming film that everyone should watch.<\/p>\n

An animated film that’s deeper and more real than most give it credit for, I give Tangled<\/em> 5.0 stars out of 5.<\/p>\n
