Unique storytelling and an enthralling experience !

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2017)

The story revolves around a young girl named "Chihiro" who tries to rescue her parents and escape from the spirit world.
The entire movie is a conglomeration of chaotic episodes, but the beauty of it is how well it all settles towards the end leaving you feeling all fuzzy and contented. While the individual episodes itself bear no meaning whatsoever, the movie cleverly touches upon several ideas like love, kindness, friendship and letting go.
The characters in the story are widely diverse with no background at all much like bottomless pits. The cons of taking such a path is that the characters are severely disconnected from the viewers. On the brighter side of the spectrum, this idea allows the story to twist and turn in ways unimaginable or rather in ways that are only limited by the director's imagination. This approach has the characteristic of leaving the audience engaged and at the edge of their seats.
Overall, it is an exquisite and enthralling experience. Definitely worth a watch for movie lovers who appreciate animation and a unique storytelling.
