I laughed, I cried, I smiled. The Boy and the Beast surpassed every single one of my expectations, I adored this film. This is an emotional roller-coaster of a film, I cared, but not only that I cried, three times. The characters and their relationships felt so genuine…
ErikaApr 8, 2016Director Mamoru Hosoda is a big talent no doubt, but the The Boy and the Beast was very disappointing. Not a bad movie, enjoyed the start and some other parts, the animation looks great, just let down by the story, the random mythology bit put me right off this. The Fantasy…

Rating: 8.1/10 The Boy and the Beast is a spectacular and wonderfully creative fantasy adventure from director Mamoru Hosoda. The film is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of found family, loneliness, and strength, wrapped in a visually stunning and action-packed package. Highlights -…
8.5/10 Very deep and emotional story. The characters REALLY grow on you as the movie progresses to where you love almost all of them. Great soundtrack and visuals. Lots of symbolism and imagery to convey the plot and of course Easter eggs to Hosoda’s other films
