In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing CALL ME CHIHIRO (2023) currently streaming on Netflix.  Directed by Rikiya Imaizumi, from a script by Rikiya Imaizumi and Kaori Sawai, from the manga by Hiroyuki Yasuda.  The story follows Chihiro (Kasumi Arimura), a young woman who works at a bento shop in a small town and is a minor celebrity of sorts.  Through personal relationships with an array of locals as they navigate life.  A strong script and solid performances make this a MUST WATCH.  The film clocks in at 2 h 11 m and is rated TV-14.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
