I am a very casual Ghibli fan. This movie was on my radar for a while, and I finally have the time to sit down and watch it, The only reason it gets two stars because it’s pretty.
I believe they thought the prettiness of the movie would carry them with a very distinct lack and incoherence of storytelling. One of the weakest films to date, neck and neck with “Mary and the witches flower.” Very disappointing.
