8 / 10
In summary, this is a different but very interesting movie - a little too messy for my taste, but definitely an experience and a movie worth watching more than once. - Daniel Hofverberg

It probably feels a bit long-winded after all, and judging by the slightly contrived ending, one can almost sense that Mr. Miyazaki has a hint of a pounding Disney heart inside his vest despite everything. But only almost. - Anna Eklund

The surface is beautiful and full of charm, but the content is a bit sluggish and too convoluted for its own good. - Alexander Kardelo

Do I need to say that I love the movie? I think everything is brilliant in it, the environments are completely magical, the depiction of the power struggle between wizards, witches and the nobility oppressing the people is strong. - André Svensson
