The film is thoughtful, tender and generally quite beguiling. Read full review

The unlikely friendship between Michael and Kensuke is the heart of a film that touches lightly on environmental themes, loss and history. Read full review

Kensuke’s Kingdom feels like a throwback – for better and worse. While some of its classical animation is pleasant, the story of a young boy bonding with a former Japanese soldier can feel schmaltzy and obvious. Read full review

Remaining loyal to the source material, Boyle’s Kensuke’s Kingdom greets fans of the novel with a safe cinematic counterpart, using an animated format to re-explore Morpurgo’s environmental literature, remaining within the boundaries of the original narrative, arriving at set expectations and nothing more.
