BAFTA WINNER 2024 - BEST ANIMATED FILM

GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER 2024 - Best Animated Feature

“The Boy And The Heron is not only a victory lap for a filmmaker long regarded as one of the greatest of all time. It’s also thrillingly adventurous, spikily funny, and beautifully crafted, a feast for the eyes, mind, heart and soul.” 
★★★★★ Ben Travis, Empire Magazine

“In its giddy resistance to being pinned down, it reminds you of Miyazaki himself: the stern traditionalist still delightedly pushing back the bounds of his craft.” 
★★★★★ Robbie Collins, Daily Telegraph

“There are flashes of Hitchcock, 2001: A Space Odyssey and even Back to the Future, and while the director’s films can be earnest, it’s often very funny.” 
★★★★ Ed Potton, Times (UK)

“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.” 
★★★★★ Caryn James, BBC
