The latest film from the esteemed Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli.

Rating: 4/5 --
It has a delicacy and a hand-crafted feel that you won't find in the latest DreamWorks or Pixar blockbuster. Instead of brash primary colours, Takahata uses a pale and watery palette.

4 stars out of 5 -- Unique, beautiful and endlessly fascinating. It really is a work of art.
Empire
Rating: 4/5 --
As you'd expect from the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Takahata has created a ravishing, technically perfect product and the hand-drawn, watercolour images explode with tender, humorous details.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 4/5 --
Plays out as a wistful, slow-burning romance, underscored with a streak of social satire and animated in exquisitely subtle pastels and watercolours.

Rating: 3/5 --
Occasionally guilty of resting on its beauty in a way its protagonist never does.

One Room With A View
The pastel watercolors and line drawings are enhanced with splashes of more vibrant hues -- a flitting bluebird, brilliant diaphanous kimonos, luminous cherry trees in full bloom.
