THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER-FREE! Unless you click on the parts hidden with a spoiler warning, ofc.
I think it's been a while since I watched a movie which feels so magical. I think it was when Haku suddenly appeared when the night cane, when Chihiro ran through the streets only to find out that her parents became pigs. It was like when a switch was suddenly pulled and the world depicted on screen suddenly was so different. From this point on, I was completely sold and eager for whatever this movie had to offer for me. And it sure offered a lot, it was pure magic. I don't think I can really condense this movie to an overarching theme, like many other stories, or I can point out something which I find good, because this movie as a whole, this world, was just so interesting, immersing and charming. The characters, who breathe in this world, were charming. It was an extraordinary synergy between godly visuals, a strong musical score, and also a well-written story, managing to bundle main plot threads, nuanced characters, and also the world itself, without never stopping being boring, into one, cohesive plotline.
Everything just worked. Usually I would point something out which is kinda meh to me, but apart from very little nitpicks, I don't think I dislike anything about this movie.23.5 out of 25 users liked this review
