  The Boy and the Heron 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Visually stunning with breathtaking animation and a tone that leans more toward mature themes rather than a typical children’s movie. Miyazaki excels at bringing worlds and characters to life, but this time, the world-building feels overly complex, overshadowing the protagonist’s emotional journey. Characters are introduced without enough exploration, making the story feel haphazard and lacking a satisfying payoff. In my opinion, while it may not be Miyazaki’s strongest work, it still carries the spirit of Ghibli and is definitely worth watching. Seems like I’ll be watching this again sometime.

The performances are exceptional, especially Ralph Fiennes, who brings depth and tension to every moment.

  The storytelling is well-paced…
