I am not a huge anime aficionado, but my daughter and her friends love this genre. So I decided to give it a go, and I was blown away! Definitely, the best Studio Ghibli movie I've seen!

What a journey! To see a woman’s thoughts and processing some of the formative moments in her youth. Really felt her. But I would say it is a girls movie unlike others in this genre. My boyfriend never bought in.

Only Yesterday is unabashedly modest, but in its twin dialogues between the past and the present, and the undying lure of the country and the city, it’s a singularly specific story whose message echoes decades later.

Mr. Takahata’s psychologically acute film, which was based on a manga, seems to grow in impact, too, as the adult Takao comes to a richer understanding of what she wants and how she wants to live.

Like “Kaguya,” it functions as a highly sensitive and empathetic consideration of the situation of women in Japanese society—but it’s also a breathtaking work of art on its own.
