Bret M @BretM-3 6d I genuinely don’t know how to feel about this movie. I will admit, I’ve seen worse Studio Ghibli films, but this one definitely isn’t top tier. The animation is not very good at all. Maybe it’s not as bad as My Neighbors the Yamadas, but still not as good as the Ghibli classics. The story was alright, but it kind of got boring after The Princess became royal, and the pacing did not help. A movie with animation this mid, and a semi boring story paired with a 2 hour and 20 minute runtime, this was a long watch! So, while it’s not horrible, it’s definitely not good. This is the type of movie you should watch maybe once just to give it a shot, but will probably never feel compelled to watch again.

This is the first ghibili film I sat throughout, and I am very happy I did. It's heartwrenching and visually stunning.

It has rich themes about true happiness and the restrictive expectations and objectification of women. The soundtrack is phenomenal and the voice cast is great. It's really charming watching Kaguya's childhood in the countryside. Soon the father becomes misguided about Kaguya's divine origin. He loves her, but he abandons the friends and connection to nature that made Kaguya happy in the first place in order to pursue wealth and nobility. I love the rapid art style shift when Kaguya runs away from her own party. I'm glad that Kaguya got to reunite with her old love one last time. It makes you mourn for the happy life that they could've spent together. We get such an emotional beautiful ethereal ending that will make you cry. It's such a thoughtful conclusion about the beauty, hardship, brevity, and cyclical nature of life. See more Read all reviews
