Howl's Moving Castle is Japanese and anime, and therefore automatically more artistic than its US counterparts. The right cultural cachet gives you a lot of leeway.
December 08, 2014
It is so intriguing.
December 08, 2014
A floatingly delightful fairytale with its heart set on repealing the law of gravity.

[Miyazaki] may have made better films than Howl's Moving Castle, but it still exhibits his amazing imagination and astonishing detail.
December 08, 2014
Like Tiepolo, Miyazaki is a winged artist who flies in his own space, taking gravity with him. He can put us into a childish stupor of anticipation, then satisfaction. His vision is so free that it captivates.

A richly inventive and enchanting delight.
December 08, 2014
There is little of the magic and Japanese flavour of such Miyazaki masterpieces as Spirited Away.
November 19, 2013
What you get, above all, is some enchanting flashes of classic Miyazaki and the nagging sense that something essential is missing.
October 18, 2008
A stunning example of a pure, disorienting dream logic that cinema provides all too rarely.
September 07, 2008
Palaces and shimmering lakes, warplanes and fire sprites all come to life at the breath of Miyazaki's graphic genius.
November 19, 2013
A strange delight awash in visual splendor, understated humor and clever body-and-soul transmogrifications among its bonny band of weirdos.
November 19, 2013
What a moveable feast of delights.
