I enjoyed this movie. It's about a bunch of kids fighting to save the old quarter of their 1960's Japanese town. There are some great scenes in here, primarily concerning boys and girls and funny, spot-on ways they behave around one another.I enjoyed this movie. It's about a bunch of kids fighting to save the old quarter of their 1960's Japanese town. There are some great scenes in here, primarily concerning boys and girls and funny, spot-on ways they behave around one another. It's not the best of stories - the storytelling is clumsy at times (some subplots are contrived and serve little to the overarching story) and there are plenty of conventional tropes (the two leads are sympathetic but a little bland, and their romance is 100% predictable). But there's a sweetness and gentleness to the tale that lingers. A good movie.… Expand

An awkward, yet consistently likeable movie that's elevated by it's great music and feeling of warmth.

Far from one of Ghibli's best, but even the weakest of Ghibli films are stronger than other studios' best films.
