Igor S @Igor_Sena Jan 18 Although overly long and a bit repetitive, this is a beautifully crafted movie that will touch your soul in a very profound way. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Jan 11 Such a gorgeous and emotional powerhouse rooted in Japan's oldest recorded folk story. The movie is animated with a beautiful watercolor brush painting art style. 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.

That alone warrants this rating See more Ante K @RT35751260 Sep 29 Throughout the entire childhood of Kaguya I was smiling, through her adulthood I was contemplating while the end left me with a beautiful message. While Spirited Away is Studio Ghibli's magnum opus, The Tale of Princess Kaguya is their most powerful and best overall.

BUT THE SCENE with sutemaru ruined it especially bcuz he was already married like hello? what do u mean he ran away leaving his WIFE and CHILD behind and then even planned to elope with Kaguya?

This movie blows away any other Ghibli film (which are already very good, besides tale from earth sea, and earwig and the witch). This film shows the complexity of human emotions and it is wonderful. Definitely recommend watching this is a master piece. かぐや姫の物語を見てください See more Read all reviews
