A stunning pastoral and a beautiful reflection on childhood and maturity voiced by a superb Japanese cast. Moving and immersive vignettes washed in watercolours flow into scenes of naturalistic dialogue and silence that breathes deeply and fresh—a sunrise is a moment of holy pause, conversations in the car wander through profundity as the vehicle winds through the fields. Authentic and utterly singular, patient and lovely. Beautiful.

It's an interesting look at growing up and how our childhood and past shapes who we are and what memories really stick with us. It has some beautiful imagery, but the movie is a bit slow in terms of the story. The story kind of has a romantic element, but is mostly on the ground in the ebbs and flows of life. Our events don't always make sense in a straight narrative, but they still shape us. That's what this movie taps into.

Isao Takahata is rapidly becoming one of my favorite directors. I had no idea what I was getting into with this one, but it hit me hard in all the right ways. He had such a profound way of capturing humanity and showcasing even the mundane as important and noteworthy. This film is a masterpiece and needs to be seen.

Another animation full of details and colors that are linked to the development of the protagonist. It is a film about the wisdom that we all experience with life. Very sensitive and nostalgic!

Taeko: "When my sisters recall the good old days it's mainly about fashions or pop starts. For them 1966 was the high point of their youth. But for me it was just fifth grade."

A refreshing change of pace from other Studio Ghibli films on a more poignant subject and a historical piece. Fav scene: train at the end with the kids.

Well if this isn't the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Gentle, lyrical. Lovely and leisurely. An utterly charming sense of humor. Nostalgic of formative experiences, both the warm and the troubling, and the fulfillment of self-reflection and realization. Sympathetic of a woman's place in the world, from puberty to adulthood, and containing beautiful renderings of the Japanese countryside, but ultimately it feels universal.

Lyrical, thoughtful and gentle. Though it's quite unlike other Studio Ghibli films in that the story is an adult romantic drama rather than a fantasy aimed at a general audience. Absolutely lovely animation, of course, but I wouldn't expect anything less.

Episodic, nostalgic collection of remembrances has powerful dramatic moments and sincere emotional beats -- as an aside, interesting to contrast its depiction of teen response to menstruation to a U.S. production, where it would either be pruriently ignored, or else dealt with using smutty humour! Ultimately its meandering narrative can't hold together, but it's best moments make it worthwhile -- especially the unexpected gut punch of an ending. Japanese vocal track exceptionally well done.

Gorgeous film. A subtle and sweet romance about a woman coming to terms with her present through a time in the country and reminiscences of a formative time in her childhood. And such a great ending (those kids!!).

The payoff occurs, quite unexpectedly, during the end credits, in a sequence that is so uncommonly joyful and touching that it deserves to be idolized among the best individual scenes of the studio. Takahata commonly saves the best for last, and Only Yesterday is no exception. [Full Review]

Adorable film of biographical reminiscing which contains enough nostalgic feeling to deeply touch anyone over 20, regardless of where they grew up. It manages to go a step further than most straight coming-of-age films by also showing the regrets and consequences that follow us into adulthood. Despite seeming a bit unclear in where it is headed at times, it's worth enduring for the cultural insights of rural 1970s Japan it offers.
