Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The film is one of the most rapturously beautiful that Miyazaki has made, and all the more unsettling because of it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Wind Rises has the sweep and majesty of a Technicolor Hollywood classic.
Detroit News
Tom Long
When Jiro dreams, "Wind" soars; when he comes down to earth, the film can feel a bit stiff and murky. But then, that may be the point.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Gorgeous, wondrous and troubling.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
A beautiful--and now Oscar-nominated--swan song from Miyazaki, The Wind Rises is a breathtaking ode to what is and what could be.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It speaks to both the head and the heart, and it is, in myriad ways, some of the best work the legendary animator has ever created.

J. Hoberman
I don't doubt the sincerity of Miyazaki's pacifism but I'm appalled by his abstract vision. Like, how many tens or hundreds of thousands of real people in Asia and the Pacific were de-animated thanks to [Jiro] Horikoshi's dreams?
Grantland
Wesley Morris
The pastel palette bespeaks a determined, almost demented lightness.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
At 73, Miyazaki's farewell is many things -- gorgeous, beckoning, compassionate. For better and worse, it soars above child's play.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A work of immense mystery and strangeness, loaded with unforgettable images, spectacular sweeps of color and nested, hidden meanings.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The beauty of "The Wind Rises" - and it really is gorgeous - does not mask the troublesome aspects of its story, or of human nature itself.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The view is beautiful, but the loftier aims of "The Wind Rises" fall short.

Leonard Maltin
Certainly no one else would render such a story in old-school, hand-drawn animation instead of surrendering to modern CGI. But that's what makes Miyazaki unique
Film Comment Magazine
Andrew Chan
Apart from its handcrafted visuals, which are as lovely and painstakingly precise as anything in the Ghibli canon, the film feels sapped of conflict and energy
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Everything is invested with spirit: levers, flaps, and, of course, the wind.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
While it's not quite as magical as some of his previous films, it makes a fitting and often moving farewell.
Slate
Dana Stevens
The Wind Rises has the historical sweep of a David Lean picture, complete with panoramic shots of migrating populations against a background of disaster ...
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The images in "The Wind Rises" are breathtaking, with one striking scene after another, imaginative, whimsical, powerful.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Visually, "The Wind Rises" is a thing of sensual, contemplative poetry, from the pearlescent cloudscapes and verdant countryside of Horikoshi's youth to the hulking gray factories he visits in prewar Germany as a young man.
