8 / 10
Translated from swedish: It is conveyed in Miyazaki's characteristic visual way, as if lifted from all realistic claims and finger-wagging morals. Lush idyll, surprising monstrosities, somewhat recognizable yet never before articulated.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Tasteful and well-thought-out, socially critical and beautifully sentimental.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Another exciting and original animated film from Hayao Miyazaki. This one was made back in the 80s and feels ahead of its time. With environmental destruction as a major threat.

6.6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Here, as always with Miyazaki, there are large measures of beauty and invigorating grotesqueries. Humor and horror. As well as the constant changeability: things are rarely what they seem, a circumstance that is both frightening and hopeful.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Princess Nausicaä is one of many flying protagonists in his strange fairy-tale landscapes. It takes place a thousand years into the future, when gigantic insects terrify the different human peoples who are at war with each other and creating new threats.

-
5 / 10
Translated from swedish: The plot has become messy, and there are many seemingly irrelevant threads that are brought up and not always woven together satisfactorily. It's not entirely easy to understand how everything is connected, even for adults, so how children are supposed to manage to keep up is beyond my comprehension.
