Synopsis
When quiet bookworm Shizuku follows a mysterious cat to an antique shop, she meets Seiji, a classmate who is determined to become a violin maker. Captivated by the boy, Shizuku vows to pen her own story before Seiji returns from Italy. Inspired by The Baron, an antique cat figurine who helps her listen to the whispers of her heart, Shizuku embarks on a quest to uncover her true talent. Based on a screenplay from Hayao Miyazaki and directed by Yoshifumi Kondo, Whisper of the Heart is a heartfelt coming-of-age tale of self-discovery and first love from the legendary Studio Ghibli. Featuring the voices of Brittany Snow, David Gallagher, Jean Smart, Cary Elwes, and more.

Straight up religious experience seeing this on the big screen. When Seiji picked up his violin it was more hype than Cap picking up Thor's hammer

Moe lovedWhisper of the HeartLiterally my favorite Studio Ghibli movie, it needs more love
Preciuos katia lovedWhisper of the Heart10/10 It's the best ghilbi studio's film I've seen so far. There's no big drama or magic or anything like that it's a simple story about growing up, love & dreams and the main characters are so damn real. I think it's a really beautiful story and it's perfect for a cozy evening
- Alissia dislikedWhisper of the Heart
It was a cute story. But it was way too fast paced, the storyline took a weird turn towards the end when she was writing this story (which came out of nowhere) and the ending was just a big no. 2 out of 5 stars.
Turnip lovedWhisper of the HeartLiterally my favorite studio ghibli movie. The journey it takes you on with all the colors, shapes, and sounds were amazing. They really outdid themselves

Metacritic
Studio 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.
Noel Murray
The A.V. Club
A 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.
Patrick Gamble
CineVue
Mr. 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.
