The Boy and the Heron

After watching this I suggest going to YouTube and watching a video explanation.I feel like this was a great last film for studio ghibli and gives the fans closure since it represents Miyazaki and the ending of his career. Very cute and magical movie with lots of meaning

I feel like you have to know a lot about Hayao Miyazaki before watching this. But also it’s up to you how you interpret the message of the movie. I absolutely loved it and would love to see it again. I would say it’s one of my top Ghibli movies!

It's not the best studio ghibli movie that's out there but I do like the small references from some of the previous films.

However, time to time I thought that the storyline was a bit of and it didn't have a particular message. Other than that the movie was entertaining and…

i’m ngl i forgot what happened in this movie and everyone’s saying you need to know the director’s story to understand the movie. i’ll probably watch it again sometime if i feel like it.

Listen, it’s wonderful, but it lost me halfway through

4.5/5 - my takeaway from this is that birds are evil in alternate universes

beautiful animation, beautiful scoring, beautiful story - all round great film
