    Was it worth having nightmares about herons and fish for months now? I hope I eventually understand at least parts of what it's about and don't drown in a bunch of metaphors overlooking that in the end it was all about reliving "Miyazaki".

    We will see. What seems to be clear is that Miyazaki (at least from my western perspective) pulled off the biggest Dumbledore move on his grandson. I hope he's doing well.

    Well done and is quite nice for an evening. But in the end it's a lot of triggers but no new insights in a film that wants to be very political. I have the feeling that the social criticism is still at the beginning of the 2000s but maybe that's the point of it all. Also, in context, a bit of a pink washing Matell advertising block.




    I feel so stupid writing reviews.
