Siddhant Adlakha Variety “The Glassworker” goes beyond merely aping Miyazaki’s distinctive style. It gets to the heart of the anti-war sentiment that underscores much of his work. Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending I loved this film so much and the theme of art being paramount to our lives could not be more vital right now. The movie also explores the difficulties inherent in two people connecting when they share conflicting ideologies. Rated: A- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture In fact, it’s Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated feature film ever, and as Walt Disney did with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Riaz creates a masterpiece on his very first try. Rated: 9/10 Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's very much a beginner's film... It's trying to be Howl's Moving Castle, but it's just not. Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof ... A charming little filigree with a clear and straightforward message that will not leave you indifferent. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Yago García Cinemanía (Spain) Far enough removed from the everyday to intrigue and fascinate without being 'based on a true story'.
