    Wow! Sean Baker’s best work! What a lead performance! What a daring portrayal of grooming and the current state of America! It could have been longer and I wish it weren’t so held back by its low budget. What a script! I am in awe of this film, Sean Baker and indie cinema!

    ★★½

    Very mid-tier Miyazaki film. Probably the least interesting of his scripts with one-note and uneventful characters. It’s very much like Spirited away with a kid character trying to save his parent while encountering magical beings that symbolise grand-scale aspects of humanity. None of The boy and the heron feels as focused or propelled as Spirited away though as we have next to no sense of what’s going on and what any of the characters want. Also, nothing that actually happens in this…

    Such a confused adaptation that completely fails to capture the book’s terrifying atmosphere. The main character is such an idiot and nobody feels mind controlled, like in the book a huge part is how everyone is kind of disconnected because they aren’t allowed to discuss feelings. In this everyone seems like normal people, some are dictators and some are oppressed but all are kind <3
