From Up On Poppy Hill Movie Review: | |
| Likely to appeal to young audiences - especially teenagers - and possibly even to jaded adults, who may look back on their own first yearnings of puppy love with nostalgia and affection. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star A film about many things-so many that the magic of Studio Ghibli's past has been displaced by exposition and earnest discussion. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal "From Up on Poppy Hill" is frankly stunning, as beautiful a hand-drawn animated feature as you are likely to see. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times It's the sort of movie that can prompt daydreams about inhabiting its world of flowers and hills, passing ships and harbor lights, where there's no Internet and romance happens face to face. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post Its visual magic lies in painterly compositions of foliage, clouds, architecture and water, and its emotional impact comes from the way everyday life is washed in the colors of memory. A.O. Scott-New York Times Those gorgeous, hand-drawn images bring lightness and grace to a story that might seem drab and pedestrian in the real world. Scott Tobias-NPR With its modest story and lack of cute magical furballs, From Up on Poppy Hill is a tad too uneventful and prosaic to match the best of Studio Ghibli but it's lovely all the same. Jason Anderson-The Grid The screenplay deftly balances the characters' intimate concerns with the nation's historic growing pains, resulting in a story that's as engrossing as the visuals are breathtaking. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap Gorgeously animated, with rich color scapes and detailed mise-en-scène, Goro Miyazaki's sophomore outing incorporates lovely, introspective imagery of, say, a cloud passing in front of the moon or smokestacks shot at a steep angle. Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine Inspiring, romantic coming-of-age tale about '60s teens. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media Soft, warm animation and resonant reflections on death, moving on and growing up can't fully overcome slighter plot points and erratic music choices. Simon Brookfield-We Got This Covered Winsome, winning entry from Studio Ghibli, with a nostalgia-suffused, unstressed ambiance that packs a potent if subtle appeal. David Noh-Film Journal International While this story might've been just as engaging in live action, Miyazaki's animation does clear away the extraneous detail, re-creating the world of 50 years ago and instilling it with the poignancy of a family snapshot. Noel Murray-AV Club Although they've dabbled in earthbound matters before, Studio Ghibli serves up a refreshing reminder of their singular animation gifts, offering a spare but endearing effort that's absolutely enchanting. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Shows a different side of the Japanese animation house, one that finds equal wonder in comparatively mundane affairs. Sam Adams-Time Out New York The story arc is somewhat facile, and its lesson about preserving history instead of demolishing it to make way for new, shiny things is too obvious. Caroline McKenzie-Slant Magazine Lovely, sentimental, but a conventional nostalgic melodrama that had no compelling reason to be filmed as anime Roger Moore-Movie Nation | |
