“Spirited Away” is deeply flawed, yet so staggeringly original and unpredictable that I found myself greatly involved in it. As a narrative, it is a complete mess — but it isn’t quite screwy enough to be a “dream logic” movie like, say, “Mullholland Drive.” What you come away with is an inscrutable plot, an unexplained setting (what good is a fish-out-of-water tale if you never know what the new pond is?) and characters operating without any motivation (first they’re good guys, then bad guys, then they eat cheesecake.) Okay. That’s all the bad stuff. The good stuff is a nutty sequence like the entrance of the Stink Monster or the hard working Soot Creatures or the old lady who turns into an old-lady-bird. I disagree with critics like Elvis Mitchell, Roger Ebert and Jurgen Fauth who consider this a brilliant movie, but I do think it is a worthy entertainment.
