      Paula S Food is pretty marginal, but the movie was GREAT and service was really good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Allen We’re was the air conditioning Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/22 Full Review David Wasserman The kind of wonderful animation and creative storytelling that we've come to expect from the masters at Studio Ghibli! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/21 Full Review Nathan H The original banger of anime movies, and it even has good actors for the dub despite that they mangled some of the dialogue by filtering it through the Western meat grinder. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Ethan N Truly a beautiful film. Disney should be jealous on how this looks compared to what their stuff looked like back in 1997.

      Jack Mathews New York Daily News Done mostly in the style of hand-painted classic animation, with occasional digital assists, "Princess Mononoke is indeed a thing of beauty and imagination. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 7, 2014 Full Review David Denby New Yorker This handsome, beautifully designed Japanese animated film has the size -- though not the clarity -- of a great Japanese film epic. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Stephen Hunter Washington Post Miyazaki's hordes of animators haven't penetrated beyond the skin; the moving creatures feel inarticulate and jerky, almost weightless, particularly when played against painterly background mattes. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Ian Kane Epoch Times ...a refreshing take on the tired man versus nature genre, and it also sheds light on ancient Japanese folklore, religion, and history. Rated: 4/5 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek When you watch this film, you need to think: "Where are the Japanese wolves?" If you don't, you'll miss the full impact of Hayao Miyazaki's environmental theme. Japan isn't the land of Bambi or the Big Bad Wolf. Rated: 5/5 Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Princess Mononoke explores the gaping chasm between nature’s gentle acceptance of circumstance and humanity’s steadfast refusal to quietly accept death.
