Having seen the trailer and reading very positive reviews I knew I had to see this movie. Extraordinary stop motion animation, stunning art design, a captivating story, and moving soundtrack all contribute to making this one of if not the best animation film made in its year. In my opinion at least. The film comes out of stop motion studio Laika, credited with other films such as Coraline. It stars an array of well known actors such as Charlize Theron and Ralph Fiennes, who delivers stellar voice acting for the characters of the story. Each protagonist is very likable, with quirks and personality to make them easy to relate to. The story being told is set to ancient Japan. In style it resembles a folk tale, and the tale holds your attention throughout the journey. Do recommend!

影片中的动作戏非常出色和流畅,充满特质的3D构想简直令人吃惊,同时电影的故事和引玉也以意想不到而又令人感动的方式来处理。 该片是莱卡动画令人炫目而又极具美感的一次质的飞跃,这部充满想象力的作品令人大饱眼福,影片将民俗故事和绚烂的视觉效果相融合,令观众沉浸在其中无法自拔。 影片视觉方面极具创造力,片中呈现的家族互动方式较为复杂,《久保》堪称莱卡动画的又一次巨大成功。
