Interesting movie about Hokusai's daughter (and not about Hokusai himself, so don't expect to watch a biography of him!! I have no idea why people thinks it's a biography of him since the title is "Miss Hokusai"...).
The movie is about her art, but also a slice of life, showing some parts of her everyday life. I personally really enjoyed it. The animation is very pretty and I like the fact that I didn't really know what to expect of the story.
However, it's difficult to really understand the intentions of the movie since it doesn't really focus on anything and it can be rather puzzling. I advice to see the movie as a brief representation of a moment in Oei Katsushika's life and to not expect to see something with a "structured" plot with a beginning and a end.
Funny and interesting but super homophobic.
I'm going to sound like an old lady but it's nothing like the book of my childhood. There's too much unnecessary romantic subplot and I don't really get the weird aesthetic. But it's funny (though it made me realize how creepy that story actually was).
The acting was awkward, the chemistry lacking... I was also surprised at the acting of Hayley Atwell that was lacking something at some parts of this movie because she's usually a very good actress. All in all, this movie was disappointing and slightly boring. I hope the 1999 version will be more satisfying to watch.
It was really cute and surprinsingly not just centered around the romance
I watched it after reading that it was a feminist movie. It's way better than I expected (though the french voices are awful) even if the scenario is really obvious. It's sweet and just what I needed in a bad time of my depression.
The bad point for me was the cliché of homosexual people.
The universe is very interesting but the plot is super cliché. I also found it difficult to connect with the characters. They just weren't very complex... The humoristic lines (with the minions, for ex) fell flat too. I'm not sure where they were going with them ? It didn't fit the overall mood at all.
All in all, it's pretty bland but not so awful that I would tell people to stay away
Some jokes are funny but most have them fell flat and/or are stupidly offensive. There are some good ideas here and there but not enough to make it a good movie.
Way too long and didn't age very well.
There's a lot to say about the racist depiction of the natives and the poor weak white woman but... this movie drained my energy
