    THE BOY AND THE HERON (Hayao Miyazaki 2023)

    HAYAO MIYAZAKI: THE BOY AND THE HERON (2023)



    GENERAL FILM FORUM REVIEW

    The celebrated Studio Ghibli auteur or "anime maestro" signs his last animated film. More self-identified than his more usually girl-centric tales, this one focuses on Mahito, a 12-year-old misfit, and the gray heron he discovers flapping about his new home - a bird that turns into a little bald gnome-like creature with a red bulbous nose and big teeth. Peter Debruge in his Variety review assesses this as "a worthy but mid-range addition" to the Miyazaki oeuvre.
