Spice and Wolf (2008)
Pasloe's small town used to hold Holo, a mighty wolf deity, in high regard for her annual harvest blessing. But as time passed by and the village prospered, the legend of Holo slowly faded. One day, Kraft Lawrence, a wandering merchant, arrived at the settlement, and Holo offered to become his business partner if he agreed to accompany her to her homeland of Yoitsu. Recognizing Holo's talent for appraising people and situations, Lawrence consented to the deal. Together, Lawrence and Holo embarked on a journey to seek financial opportunities, propelled by Lawrence's newly acquired trading skills and Holo's ability to charm and negotiate. However, as they traveled across the countryside, Lawrence realized that his initial goals were starting to shift into something entirely unexpected.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
