Princess Mononoke

CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 8.5

After a young prince is cursed while defending his village, he journeys west in search of a cure. He becomes caught between a forest-protecting young woman and a community whose growth threatens the wilderness, and tries to ease a conflict where both sides have compelling reasons to fight.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like sweeping animated fantasy, vivid spirits, and thoughtful conflicts without simple heroes or villains; Not for you if you prefer gentle family adventures or want to avoid graphic violence.
