Audience Reviews for Mirai

  • Jun 01, 2019
    Very few movies can say that they legitimately offer a child's perspective of the world. "Mirai" offers that an so much more. A beautiful little movie.

    What an awful voice they chose for Kun in the Japanese version (the voice of an 18-year-old girl), and yet more annoying for me is how condescending this film is towards children instead of speaking to them, with the result feeling more unfocused and banal than it should.
