I know it's a bold claim but you'll regularly find this movie high on critic's lists of best films this century, up there with Moonlight, Mulholland Drive, and No Country For Old Men. This is Miyazaki's masterpiece and I've watched this film close to ten times now, the only film I have watched more is Casablanca.
One of the best things about Miyazaki's films is there is never a binary split between good and evil, a phenomenon Disney movies have trained audiences to need (that's not a bad thing, but it is a thing). Spirited Away is exploration, uncovering interests, and understanding the world around us. The film is beautiful, the score is amazing, and the pacing is just right.
Best movie of the century....so far.
