My Neighbor Totoro

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 8.3

Two sisters move to the countryside with their father to be closer to their mother, who is in the hospital. As they explore their new home and its surrounding woods, they encounter magical forest spirits, finding wonder and comfort amid the worries of family life.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like gentle family fantasies, whimsical forest spirits, and a cozy sense of childhood wonder; Not for you if you want a fast-paced story with strong conflict and frequent action.
