Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Yonebayashi has touched on the greater mystery underlying everyday life, a world pulsing with wonder and possibility, edged with a shadow of melancholy.
While not a masterpiece, it is beautiful, nonetheless.
This is a film defined by patience and attention, an adventure of emotional exploration.
To those film lovers attuned to quiet moments and emotional nuance, this film has a shine all its own. The old-school hand-drawn animation celebrates sweeping landscapes and but also the telling detail, revealing character through spare gestures.
