The Boy and the Heron was as solid as we can expect from any Miyazaki film, but while there were moments of magic, it failed to completely awe me in a way I’ve come to expect from him. And that’s fine I guess. Perhaps what disappointed me the most was Joe Hisaishi’s score this time around.

Dream Scenario was good. Never quite got weird enough in its absurdism or deep enough into the darkness. It always had one foot solidly grounded in reality which made it feel a bit too normal/linear relative to my expectations. boxd.it/v2h0
