Critic Reviews of "The Boy and the Beast"
Globe and MailMay 27, 2016The soundscape is rich, and the beast-battles well executed. But the characters never develop beyond their two-word descriptors: Conflicted Boy, Lonely Girl, Angry Son, etc.
Dallas Morning NewsMarch 10, 2016Questions may linger about what's real and what's projected from Ren's turbulent feelings, but the film creates such vivid worlds on both sides of the alley, you'll root for their coexistence.
RogerEbert.comMarch 04, 2016What sets this film apart from its generic predecessors is writer/director Hosoda's knack for playful set pieces, and unsentimental love of surrogate familial communities.
Philadelphia InquirerMarch 04, 2016A brilliant, funny morality tale that examines the transformative effects of martial-arts training.
Salt Lake TribuneDecember 31, 2016Animated wonders abound in The Boy and the Beast, a beautifully drawn fantasy tale by Japanese anime filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda.
Cinetvymas.clSeptember 13, 2016A film that doesn't try to redefine fantasy anime, instead it exploits the classic anime characters argue and fight all the time. [Full review in Spanish]
The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)July 11, 2016The Boy and the Beast is surprisingly funny, incredibly poignant and boasts some great lessons: Everybody's got darkness to control, and family is what you make, not what you're born into.
Antagony & EcstasyJuly 10, 2016None of this is at all groundbreaking or unimaginably sophisticated, but it works so very well to make for an involving, admirable family film.
The Young FolksJune 16, 2016... Hosoda flirts with the uncompromising challenges of the real world, allowing airs of self-doubt and oversight to affect the story.
