Reviews

Variety - Scott Foundas
Miyazaki is at the peak of his visual craftsmanship here, alternating lush, boldly colored rural vistas with epic, crowded urban canvases, soaring aerial perspectives and test flights both majestic and ill-fated.

Slant Magazine - Jesse Cataldo
Even if Hayao Miyazaki's career is complete, a work like this serves to remind us of the shining beacons he's left behind him, the testaments to pursuing beauty in the face of so much ugliness, themselves lasting reminders of the quiet rewards of determination.
91
The Playlist - Oliver Lyttelton
It might not be the director's most immediately accessible films, but it's among his most fascinating and beguiling.
91
Entertainment Weekly - Keith Staskiewicz
As gorgeously animated as any of his previous movies, Wind has Miyazaki trading in his more fantastical impulses for contemplative, old-fashioned drama and period detail.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - Deborah Young
A very honest film from a great Japanese artist.
