Leave your thoughts about A Whisker Away.
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichFun and winsome and always full of life, A Whisker Away naturally finds a way to land on its feet. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe West may have long regarded the East as “inscrutable.” In Japan, they save that word for felines, who come off here as reserved, loyal, observant and aloof. On the money, to anybody who’s ever shared a life with a cat. Money well spent, Netflix. Let’s see what else you’ve got. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenA wholesome fantasy built of serene settings and cute animals is more fun when it gets a little wacky, and thankfully A Whisker Away has some left-field ideas to make the tale more magical as it goes along. |
| User ReviewTheIsorphobeA very soft movie with wonderful animation, likable characters and a moral dilemma. The main character is morally gray and actually evolves as the movie progresses, her love interest is not a generic character and also evolves and has a big part in the story arc. The supporting cast is charming and lovable, though not very present (which is not inheritly a problem). The lore is not overlapping with the slice of life aspect. If you're looking for lore and exploration of of an expending world in the fantasy genre this movie might not be for you. |
| User Reviewmikesgold2KNiby standardowa historia o miłości, jednak cały koncept z przemianą w kota intryguje i powoduje, że całość ogląda się z zainteresowaniem |
| User ReviewxhenierUna película con una hermosa estética y una animación modesta pero a la altura de la expectativas que puede brindar a primera vista, al principio puede ser poco emocionante pero a medida que avanza empiezas a sentir cariño por los personajes y terminas atrapado en la historia hasta el final, me gusto mas de lo que esperaba y me siento feliz después de llegar a su conclusión, sin más que opinar. |
| User ReviewAvastiA rom-com mixed with magic and fantasy. Its fun and entertaining, the art is beautiful. It's very interesting seeing the story unfold and the perspectives of the characters and their motivations + backstories. |
| User ReviewInfinityDude88Fun, emotional coming-of-age fantasy/romance for all ages. |
| User ReviewAkumaJackA fantasy anime rom-com. It's really good. The plot is easy to follow and never boring. Characters are likable and fun. Sometimes over the top (especially the main heroine Muge) sometimes very realistic in their reactions. Great OST and animations. My girlfriend cried watching it, so that's a plus. |
| User Reviewdreamer72(DUB) A great movie with themes of lost, love, and cats. At first Miyo seems obsessed with Kento and comes off as extremely unhealthy and creepy. But later it contextualizes it with her relationship to Kento as a cat and her mother who divorced and left her at a very young age. The antagonist was actually quite fun and the story perfectly captures the aura of old Folk Lore tales. Another well wrote character was Miyo's Stepmother's cat (Hilarious as it sounds) who turns out to be a major part of the story later on and mirrors Miyo's self realizations. |
