This is a beautiful, simple movie. The animation is superb, the characters feel very real and relatable, and the script and voice acting is natural. Only sensitive people will understand and appreciate this movie's simplicity and beauty. It reminds me of both Boyhood and My Neighbor Totoro, where not much happens, there is no drama or issue to be resolved. It's just an experience. And a beautiful one at that.

I think it's well on its way for me at this point that I prefer Isao Takahata to Hayao Miyazaki. Maybe that will change, I'll have to go over all my ratings when I've finished watching all the Studio Ghibli movies. His films are more sentimental than action, which I prefer at this point in my life. More
