...large cast, including a forest full of spirits that bear a remarkable resemblance to the ubiquitous slanty-eyed alien, but whose chubby cuteness is endearing. Sweeping vistas of mountains, forested and deforested, are perfectly rendered, making it easy to forget that they were drawn. In the hands of a director as talented as Miyazaki animation can create a vivid dream world that engages the viewer completely...

Despite the silly analogy, the List Center is impressively cutting-edge, showing artists like Kiki Smith, Ann Hamilton and Matthew Barney. The new director, Jane Farver, was selected as one of the six curators for the next Whitney Biennial: the exhibition program here has credibility to spare...
