The Boy and the Heron (2023)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
The Boy and the Heron has one brief scene late in the film where characters are being affected by electricity, causing some arcing effects. This occurs just after a stairway to a door is destroyed, and when the sound of electricity is gone, the rest of the film is safe to watch.
There are some brief POV shots from a character running at full speed, which depict both their speed and disorientation caused by the effort. There are also some flying scenes. The fact that this is a traditionally-animated feature mitigates a lot of the motion sickness risk.
Flashing Lights: 3/10. Motion Sickness: 3/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: Early in the film, a character self-inflicts an injury that bleeds profusely. War violence, including civilian casualties, is depicted. Some body transformations may be disturbing to some audiences.
