Spirited Away (2002)
It's never good for a critic to admit that they don't know why they feel a certain way about a certain film. I'm in the unenviable position of having to do that now. This film is well-written and visually amazing and exciting and involving and all sorts of other superlative crap. I can't, off the top of my head, think of anything I dislike about it.It should by all rights be a solid A sitting atop my best-of list. Yet I can't do that right now. I don't know why.... it just doesn't FEEL like a masterpiece. Something is missing and I don't know what. I'll give the film a second look and report back. Consider the grade below a placeholder.
Grade: B+
