Contemplative anime feature about civilian life in Japan during WWII. It's pretty, quiet, and at times powerful. It could have been better, I didn't find Suzo to be very compelling and the other characters weren't very well developed..

I have mixed feelings for Japanese war films. Here we get the focus on cute children who are victims of circumstances beyond their control, instead of denunciations of evil. This makes it hard to enjoy because I can't help but perceive it as a denial of responsibility or at least a slight of hand. We get an arm's length separation from the war. Beautifully animated. Not a fan of the time jumps. Fav scene: Suzu's exasperation at the surrender---haven't they given too much to give up?

Hope is hard to come by in this corner of the world, confronted as we are with an unrelenting parade of dislocation, suffering, and death. And yet, there's something powerful and instructive in the way Suzu gets up and gets on with it, day after day, setback after setback. I'm reminded of Ma Joad's line: "We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people."

With bits of fantasy and the character's drawings mixed with facts, this works as a powerful coming of age story about a woman living all kinds of sufferings -- losing a kid she was holding by her hand, leaving her family to get married, hunger, fear of every bomb alarm -- in Hiroshima during WWII leading up to nuclear attack. It ends so beautifully -- a kid from Hiroshima loses her mom and finds a new home with Suzu and her husband. Life always finds a way.

meh. bread-and-butter slice of life during wartime movie, never did anything that remarkable that I haven't already seen elsewhere. also the pseudo-chibi character art style was kind of ugly.

prime takahata-core, equal parts GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and ONLY YESTERDAY. as sprawling, novelistic wartime drama it's lovely but rather familiar and mundane, yet that ultimately works to its advantage because of that "caughtoffguardingly" quality paulofilmo refers to, heightening the shock of the war's bombardment, growing more formally chaotic with images that push into abstract and expressionist territory as the horrors accumulate, proving quite striking and distressing in spots.

Otherwise gorgeous artwork and an unusually intimate pastoral story contribute to an achingly beautiful wartime tale, diminished slightly by the uncanny childlikeness of its young adult protagonists and too many and unnecessarily announced date-leaps.

Extremely slow but painted with this soft and beautiful tone that when the story becomes extreme, it filled me with emotions. Images that can bring a childhood feel through Suzu and there are many sympathetic moments on the history of the war.

While the slow pace might bore some people I found myself being drawn into Suzu's life as well as the people around her. The war is very prevalent in the movie but it never takes center stage. This is a movie about everyday people and their will to survive and to not be crushed by tragedy. Beautiful animation, great voice acting and a nice score come together to make this a great and emotional viewing experience.

Although its rural sea cliff setting, young female protagonist and scenes of traditional family life and food preparation vividly recall several other Japanese animated tales, this film does find a few original notes to develop on. Civilian wartime films are always harrowing no matter what corner of the world they are set in. Through its occasional artistic meanderings, this one adds a touch of escapist beauty to the brutally dramatic journeys it puts its characters through. Well worth a watch.

This is far and way the calmest war movie I've ever seen, yet it's impossible not to be moved. Have a bottle of wine and a box of tissues at the ready, and prepare for a sob-fest.
