“‘Spirited Away’ has consistently been considered Miyazaki’s magnum opus, and it’s not hard to see why. There is creativity and depth in every element of the film, all of which help immerse me no matter how many times I come back to it. While I don’t think there is any objectively perfect film out there, this has always been – and always will be – my perfect film.” ~ Justin Kim, Loud and Clear
