Movie Reviews

ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliAn affecting and endearing collaboration between Miyazaki and Kondo, it weds a coming-of-age story with a flight of fancy to good effect. Although often overshadowed by more popular titles in the Studio Ghibli catalog, this is as deserving as any 1990s Japanese animated film to be seen and enjoyed.
CineVue - 8/10 by Patrick GambleA lovingly crafted and well observed story about adolescent self discovery – and to this day remains one of the most remarkable films produced by Studio Ghibli.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayStudio Ghibli productions have always been adept at making the fantastic seem real, but with Whisper Of The Heart, Kondo and Miyazaki focus so intensely on the everyday that they make the real seem fantastic.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Mike HaleMr. Miyazaki wrote the screenplay for a love story about a shy girl and an aspiring violin maker (and a talking cat), but the result looks like a lot of non-Ghibli anime.

User Review - 10/10 by ChinaoodleAn absolutely magical love story. Like all Ghibli movies this one strikes at childhood fantasies amazingly.

But still, I was not prepeared to be this moved. It was a very personal and emotional experience for me. It felt like the movie was talking directly to me. It's been a while since a movie has made me feel like this. I have no words. Studio Ghibli, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
User Review - 10/10 by MICKtickenIt's a love story that makes sense. The characters and world don't force their emotions or act with the signature overacting of Anime. Instead, this movie is enough to let the viewer experience the late 90's Tokyo and 2 characters who honestly love each other. Just a truly lovely film.
User Review - 9/10 by Gamzguy17A shining and quiet gem, "Whisper of the Heart" strikes the right notes in teenage ambition and inspiration; taking us back to those life moments when we first believed in ourselves and were willing to take risks to follow our dreams. Here's hoping we continue to do so in our adulthood.
User Review - 9/10 by CriticalGemThis is a beautifully animated, charming film that greatly portrays the confusing epiphany of a troubled youth finding meaning and purpose, while also finding love along the way.
