Reviews:

Gentle, puzzling but intriguing film
I picked this film up from a store, almost randomly, with a couple others, so had no expectations and no understanding of the films anime roots. I’m going to echo other reviewers comments in that it is a little slow in places, puzzling and unclear to me at points. But I really enjoyed the scenery, the characters, the story and the gentleness of the film. All the elements sat well together and nothing jarred or seemed out of place: a believable and consistent fantasy.

I’m sure I missed some of the subtleties of meaning and I wonder if things got lost because of the subtitles. But I’m confident that with a second viewing I’ll understand things better and fill in the gaps, and it is worth a second viewing.

For manga fans…
I have noticed that the positive comments so far have mostly said 1. “I’m a big fan of the original manga” and 2. “It was beautifully shot”. Together, these phrases sum up exactly what’s wrong with Mushishi. It is a high production value film that is content to appeal solely to a relatively small subset of its potential audience.

I was terribly disappointed by this film. It’s not that it was simply slow, leaden, plodding, etc. I can fully enjoy a film that does all those things if there’s a payoff, if it ultimately makes sense and gives you a sense of there being a complete wholeness to the underlying concepts.

This did not happen.

Clearly I don’t live up to point #1 – I am not a manga fan.

OK, so let me say something positive – point #2 is true. It was beautifully shot and the production values are excellent. A very nice film to look at.

My ultimate impression – if you are not already a fan of the manga, avoid, avoid, avoid.
