A simple movie that contains too much emotion. I'm 27. When I look back on my life, I start to accept myself and realize what I really want.
Lovely and simple story about the relationship with our own childhood.
Only Studio Ghibli is able to merge fairy tales, delightful animation and deeply beautiful character study in such a powerful way
Beautiful story that dives deep into the feelings of a 27y japanese woman struggling with her past and future.
This one gave me such a nostalgic feel. It was beautiful in multiple senses. How it's written, visually, the story and the ending.Beautiful.
This movie shows how dreams are crushed.
A very gentle and beautiful film about a Japanese woman coming to terms of growing up.
A slow paced movie. Gotta be in a mood to watch it as it can be boring for some ppl. Girl moves to countryside and recalls her childhood💛
A wonderful film about growing up from your surroundings & the lively side of the country folks she misses.
I feel like I watched this movie at the right time of my life. Everything was incredibly touching and perfect.
