Big chicken with a pedo lodged in his mouth stalks an orphan. Not Ghibli's best, but hot damn is it still good.
Feels like an excersise in faux-feminism. Paints itself as a fantastical exploration of growth, sexuality, reclaiming power from men, and understanding moral ambiguity... But ultimately infantalises women, has deeply troubling sex scenes, reduces complex issues to "fun", and frankly objectifies Emma Stone. More female directors now please. Still enjoyed it though.

A rich Oxford graduate directs a film about a rich Oxford family who are attacked by a manipulative and pitiful middle class kid, posing as working class, who wants social mobility to climb the ladder. Shallow nonsense at best, dangerous and bigoted at worst, but enough money has been thrown at it to get terrific performances and great cinematography. I wouldn't bother with it if I were you
