The Boy and the Heron (12A)

The Boy and the Heron (12A)

★★★★✭ Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki's first film in a decade, which is set to be his last, is yet another joyful Studio Ghibli masterpiece. ~ ManchesterTheatres.

---

A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death and creation, in tribute to friendship, from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead.

There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. 

The Boy and the Heron will screen in both original Japanese language, and English dubbed.

★★★★★ Studio Ghibli pioneer Hayao Miyazaki bids farewell with a masterpiece. ~ The Irish Times.

★★★★★ This Studio Ghibli swansong may be its finest film to date. If this is really Hayao Miyazaki’s last film, it’s an astonishing farewell – a parable with all the freedom and fantasy of childhood itself. ~ Telegraph.

★★★★★ An extraordinary swansong from Miyazaki. If this is his final film, it's a fitting one: strange, riveting and something only he could make. ~ The i.

★★★★★ Don’t call it a comeback — or another retirement. Do call it an astonishing, sumptuous animated fantasy featuring everything you love about one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. ~ Empire.

★★★★★ This may be Miyazaki's most expansive and magisterial film. If it is not the most instantly stunning, that might be because he takes the time to deliver worlds within worlds, layers under layers, to create an overwhelming experience by the end. ~ BBC.

★★★★★ In The Boy and the Heron, the feelings of grief and determination get under your skin without relying on the mission-oriented plotting of many on-message Disney features. ~ Financial Times.
