“As gorgeously animated as any of his previous movies, 'The Wind Rises' has Miyazaki trading in his more fantastical impulses for contemplative, old-fashioned drama and period detail.” ~AroVideo

5 stars (Exceptional) If The Wind Rises is Miyazaki's final feature, it marks a suitably rich and strange exit for one of the giants of Japanese cinema. ~Anon
