As is the case on any week which sees one of their releases, the best new film this week is the latest from the legendary Studio Ghibli: The Secret World of Arrietty. Based on Mary Norton’s classic The Borrowers, the story follows the adventures of Arrietty who lives in peace with her people under the floorboard of a house, and her dangerous friendship with a human boy. This film was a massive hit in Japan, and also found a surprisingly large audience at the US box office. Definitely worth a look.
14-year-old Arrietty and the rest of the Clock family live in peaceful anonymity as they make their own home from items “borrowed” from the house’s human inhabitants. However, life changes for the Clocks when a human boy discovers Arrietty.
