Miss Hokusai illuminates the life and creative legacy of its brilliant subject with a beautifully animated biopic whose absorbing visuals are matched by its narrative grace.

The art here is rawer and more idiosyncratic than some other anime, and there is a pleasing matter-of-factness about fleshy matters - drinking, sex, sickness - even as the more abstract question of art's practice and power is under consideration. Nov 11, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The animation is superb, with fine attention to period detail, and director Keiichi Hara's use of modern music - some of it rock-infused - is apt accompaniment to a story of a young woman who lives life boldly by refusing to bend to cultural norms. Oct 28, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Although it's lovely to look at, the movie is disjointed and is told through a seemingly random collection of vignettes, some of which are more memorable than others. Oct 27, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There are meditations on mortality, art, relationships, love, fear, sexuality and spirituality in this sumptuous-looking film. They cohere into a portrait of a young woman as complex as any big screen character can be. Oct 21, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

I cannot praise this film enough. It simply refuses to take the easy way out or to tell a cliché story. Feb 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Through the use of stunning visuals and surprisingly effective, if not sparing, emotional beats, the film is a solid triumph. Oct 10, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

As a bit of storytelling, Miss Hokusai tells not one, but two great biographies at the same time in a remarkably captivating manner. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review…

... quiet film with a sense of serenity interspersed with scenes of fantasy and wonder-dreams, stories, and moments of magic that may or may not be all in the creative imagination of the characters-and images of daily life of Japan in 1814. Dec 16, 2017 | Full Review…

The overall tone is so uneven, and that blaring rock soundtrack so intrusive, the artistry of Miss Hokusai gets lost in translation. Sep 11, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
