Princess Mononoke

1997

★★★★★ 2

In recent times, you may have noticed that I have been posting less and less lengthy reviews recently, and that is for a purposeful reason. I began work on a short film a little over a year ago, but I unfortunately have neglected to work on it because I felt obligated to leave four paragraphs of my thoughts every time I watch a film.
