Lonely Castle In The Mirror
Just finished watching "Lonely Castle In The Mirror" released by SHOUT! Studios.
Based on the novel "The Solitary Castle In The Mirror" by Mizuki Tsujimura, "Lonely Castle In The Mirror" is a haunting tale of trying to find your place in the world after suffering a great loss that mirrors the best of Studio Gibli's movies.
Kokoro is a young teen who, as a result of serious bullying, no longer can attend school. Her parents are surprisingly understanding and are mostly at a loss of how to help her. As such, Kokoro spends most of her time alone at home, yearning for friendship and wishing more than anything to be free of her trauma that keeps her trapped.
One spring day, Kokoro notices her mirror is alight with an otherworldly glow. She discovers that it has become a portal to a magic castle in another world. She, along with six other young teens, are greeted by the Wolf Queen, who sets the rules of the game they have been summoned to play:
• They have one calendar year to find a hidden key in a hidden room in the castle. Whomever finds the key first, will be granted their greatest wish.
• The castle is only open from 9-5. If they do not return home at 5 via their own mirror, they will face dire consequences. Those who break the rules will get eaten by a wolf.
Kokoro is determined to find the key to fulfill her greatest wish: to have her bully completely disappear.
As Kokoro and the six other students become friends and become comfortable with each other, they struggle to solve the mystery that the Wolf Queen has given them and try to overcome the traumas that are plaguing them.
A great and haunting movie.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
