The hit-and-miss English dub flattens some of the dramatic beats, but this is still a rather lovely piece of work. Apr 30, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's difficult to imagine any children's movie retaining the attention of its intended audience for two hours, but this movie feels especially monotonous. Sep 4, 2014 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Despite the hand-drawn film's supernatural edge, one of Okiura's lyrical strengths is acquainting a viewer with the poetry of the real - animated reflections of ordinary, beautiful things we see in everyday life without actually noticing them at all. Sep 4, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4

Here, magic-realism and emotional realism run together. The story can lapse into jokiness or drag its heels a little. But when Momo's anguish bursts, and she soon realizes how sad her mother's truly been, the film bursts to life. Jan 9, 2016 | Full Review…

Though made by the studio Production I.G, this is a markedly Ghibli-esque affair, overtly referencing Miyazaki's My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke among others. Jan 29, 2015 | Full Review…

A Letter to Momo is a sweet, melancholy story with beautiful artwork that pays special attention to both natural surroundings and traditional Japanese animistic spirits, but its appeal is overwhelmingly human. Sep 5, 2014
