Overview
While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother's tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy's mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the "long-awaited one."

Roger Ebert
It’s a film that somehow plays as both a child’s heroic journey and an old man’s wistful goodbye at the same time, a dream-like vision that reasserts Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s voice and international relevance.

The very last moment in “The Boy and the Heron” is the simplest, loveliest, most quietly shattering thing.

The New York Times
In dreams, yearnings break free, and Miyazaki’s films capture that exhilarating terror.

The Guardian
A mid-level Miyazaki film is still a vastly superior entity to much of the more cynically commercial content served up by Hollywood animation studios.

It’s probably best not to set your expectations too high for 'The Boy and the Heron.'

For a film-maker like Miyazaki, that’s the perfect note to go out on.

Miyazaki's last movie may not match the emotional power of "The Wind Rises," but it somehow coheres into an even more fitting swan song.

Despite the jaw-droppingly beautiful and astonishingly surreal worlds and characters conjured up by Miyazaki, we are never not invested in Mahito’s motivation to save both of his mothers.
