FILM & WATCHED Been waiting ages for this to get a release and it may have been me but I found it a crushing disappointment. Loved all of Miyazaki’s films but this never seemed to engage -there is a narrative there but so much of it seems to be disjointed scenes that never seem to go anywhere . Characters are introduced then dissapear again and a lot of it is very confusing and borderline baffling. Even the animation seems to be a bit flat - you never get that sense of wonder as you do with the others. As I say I may be missing something but although I really wanted to connect with it - it just never happened. So because it’s Miyazaki 3/3……
