I didn't get the hype for this one. As far as Christmas movies go, I've seen much worse, but certainly much better.
I'm not sure Armie Hammer and Lily James were the right choices for the leading roles - James especially failed to compell me in the more dramatic scenes. Her character often felt dumb rather than naive. On the other hand, it seemed like Armie Hammer couldn't decide whether he was a Byronic love interest or the boy next door in a romcom.
That being said, Kristin Scott Thomas's Mrs. Danvers was easily the strongest character - she felt just menacing…
Miyazaki at his best and most profound. Everything, from the character design to the soundtrack to the voice acting is masterfully done. It took me a few watches to fully understand the message, which is a testament of the film's complexity.
