Movie Reviews

Examiner.com - 10/10 by Chris SawinThe Boy and the Beast is one of the best films I have ever seen; animated or otherwise. Mamoru Hosoda has created something truly magical and powerfully significant.
The Skinny - 10/10 by Ross McIndoeAn enchanting anime overflowing with imaginative energy and visual panache.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Charles SolomonHosoda brings emotional depth to what could easily have become a formulaic martial arts saga. Instead, Boy and Beast is a bracing tale of two flawed individuals who find the love and discipline they need to assume their rightful places in their respective worlds.
The Young Folks - 9/10 by Gary ShannonHosoda flirts with the uncompromising challenges of the real world, allowing airs of self-doubt and oversight to affect his fantastical narrative.
El Pais (Spain) - 9/10 by Carlos BoyeroA decent animated film that's as politically correct as it is predictable. [Full review in Spanish]
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 9/10 by Josh TerryAs cool as those visuals may be, the thing that will resonate most with viewers is The Boy and the Beast's messages about family and finding the personal strength to resist the darkness within our hearts.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonA few instances of gorgeous and magical imagery cannot make up for the lack of genuine emotion or a fresh story. Strictly for devoted anime fans.
Irish Times - 8/10 by Tara Brady[Its] familiar beats cunningly coalesce into an elaborate plot, set to Takagi Masakatsu's bustling score.
Film Ireland Magazine - 8/10 by Andrew CarrollThe Boy and the Beast is a beautifully warm film that rides on a wave of emotion and fantasy.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansAnimated wonders abound in The Boy and the Beast, a beautifully drawn fantasy tale by Japanese anime filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda.
