Review of The Wind Rises (2013) by Peter Rainer for Christian Science Monitor — 08 Nov 2013
His movie is visually as beautiful as anything he’s ever done. Conceptually, it’s muddled. The collision between poetic fancifulness and grim reality, between peace and war, never falls into focus.
Miyazaki has seized on a great theme only to soft-pedal it.
