I will recommend giving Mononoke a watch before dipping your toes into The Phantom in the Rain so that, at the very least, you have an idea of the vibe. If you love the show already, then I don’t think you need my approval to watch the film.

Rated: 4/5

But Mononoke's biggest merit is not to fall into the easy trap of delivering style over substance. As gorgeous as it looks, the animated feature also delivers a heck of a compelling story.

Rated: 9/10

If the original series was cool, with its deliberate pacing, ironic detachment and dry humor, and that swinging theme song by jazz singer Charlie Kosei, the film version is hot: overwhelming, in-your-face, nonstop and loud.

Rated: 3/5

One of the best Netflix movies of the year, it's a movie full of emotions, I recommend that everyone who likes Japanese culture watch it.

The visuals are mind-bending and overwhelming in a positive way but the story is deeply intriguing as well. My mouth was hanging open for a good ten minutes during the climax of the movie. Superb animation that looks way ahead of its time, like a celebration Japanese art from the year 2080. Worth a second watch to really uncover all the rich visual details including the stylistic references and homage to ukiyo-e paintings. Feels like taking a magic carpet ride through a Japanese painting.

La historia y lo estético están lo bastante equilibrados para mantener el interés de quienes conocen la serie de drama sobrenatural. Es cierto que hay que darle tiempo para que la acción tome forma, y el resultado final no decepciona.

Could have been so much better if they let the story breath and build on the suspense a little bit. It was a horror anime they morphed it into a cocomelon action movie. How did this get approved by the franchise? The story being great it deserved much better execution. Lacks long lasting character impressions, no memorable ost.
