Movie Reviews

Charlotte Observer - 10/10 by Lawrence ToppmanThe film is visually sumptuous, morally ambiguous, dramatic and dreamlike, with a narrative as engrossing as any live-action movie of 2013. It’s easy to follow yet hard to shake.
Variety - 10/10 by Scott FoundasMiyazaki is at the peak of his visual craftsmanship here, alternating lush, boldly colored rural vistas with epic, crowded urban canvases, soaring aerial perspectives and test flights both majestic and ill-fated.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Jesse CataldoEven if Hayao Miyazaki's career is complete, a work like this serves to remind us of the shining beacons he's left behind him, the testaments to pursuing beauty in the face of so much ugliness, themselves lasting reminders of the quiet rewards of determination.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranTo see The Wind Rises is to simultaneously marvel at the work of a master and regret that this film is likely his last.
New York Post - 10/10 by Lou LumenickMiyazaki offers a vivid, at times fantastical view of Japan between the wars, wracked by the Great Depression, a fearsome earthquake that leveled Tokyo in 1923, a tuberculosis epidemic and the rise of fascism.
Tampa Bay Times - 10/10 by Steve PersallThis is a gorgeous production, even by Miyazaki's standards.
Time - 9/10 by Richard CorlissIt is vigorous, subtle, thematically daring, visually gorgeous.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marc SavlovIt speaks to both the head and the heart, and it is, in myriad ways, some of the best work the legendary animator has ever created.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Deborah YoungA very honest film from a great Japanese artist.
Salon - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirA work of immense mystery and strangeness, loaded with unforgettable images, spectacular sweeps of color and nested, hidden meanings. It feels to me like a meditative epic about Japan’s traumatic journey into modernity, and a complicated allegory about the innocence, arrogance and culpability of artists. It’s one of the most beautiful animated films ever made, and something close to a masterpiece.
