This is a movie for patient viewers, but trust that you will be richly rewarded.

There's enough wisdom to be found in this engaging tale for a trip to the theatre. Whether to take the whole family is up to parents to decide.
December 20, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
Merits comparison to works of similar relevance and poetic ambitions, like Shoplifters and Roma, masterworks that share its inquiries about familial ties, parental insecurities, and the inescapable pull of the past.

Like Hayao Miyazaki, whose mantle Hosoda is often considered to be on an unofficial short list to pick up, Hosoda tells this child's story at a child's eye level, and the diversions feel part and parcel of that point of view.

Expands into a lyrical realm that is both very Japanese and entirely universal.

The latest gem from Japanese anime master Mamoru Hosoda concerns a little boy's conflict with his baby sister. It may be the animator's smallest film, but it stands tall. You'll be enchanted.

Jun 01, 2019Very 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.Alec B Super Reviewer

Mar 01, 2019What 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.Carlos M Super Reviewer
