This was such an unexpected find, but certainly a healing one. Arimura Kasumi fleshed out Chihiro so well, I loved the bonds she made with the other characters, and, especially her kindness and freespirited nature. The movie is a bit silly at times, but it balances out themes like death, complex family dynamics and life after leaving the world of prostitution, while still being respectful.
I say it's definitely worth a watch, if not a rewatch.
