Leonard Klady
Obviously aimed at an international audience, the film evinces a disorienting combination of cultures that produces a nowhere land more confused than fascinating. [More]

I think you need to do more research or watch the movie again. The movie is about a Japanese family in Japan. How you say it produces a "nowhere land" actually has me confused with you rather than the movie. And if you state that it has a "disorienting combination of cultures", tell me, what cultures do you see? All I see is Japanese culture. Hmm.. How you are a "Top Critic" confounds me.

You are a moron who doesn't even deserve to be a film critic at all, let alone "top critic", yeah right.

Do your freaking research; you obviously doesn't know the first thing about Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli, nor the inspiration behind the film. "Obviously aimed at an international audience"? Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. May be you can explain why it was never released in the U.S. until a decade later, when Disney decided they were interested to purchase the rights for redistribution.

If you wanted to make the same statement about Spirited Away, you might not have sounded so outrageously stupid and ignorant, but unfortunately, you obviously are.

Perhaps the reviewer was watching the Disney-dub version.

Once I read a review in a college paper about DiCaprio's "The Beach" wherein the reviewer labeled the movie a comedy. However, compared to Mr. Klady's review of "My Neighbor Totoro," that review seemed altogether sensible. I suggest Mr. Klady improve his dismal comprehension, which apparently found it too much effort to move beyond the fact that the cartoon characters' features appeared "Anglo," not "Japanese." If Mr. Klady finds such a flight of imagination impossible, I suggest he give up the ghost of being a decent reviewer and move onto hawking Disney paraphernalia, which, to use Mr. Klady's sentiments: is so sweetly backed by "the commercial dominance of Disney cartoonists."

I have more respect for Armond White than Variety. No joke.
