FILMAFFINITY
"An emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Takahata, a regular contributor to the Ghibli studio, adapts a partially autobiographical novel by Akiyuki Nosaka, and his handling of the tragic story is masterfully simple"
J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"This Japanese animation masterpiece is a war story as heartbreaking as any action film (...) There are magical moments of natural beauty and childish delight (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
Steve Rose: The Guardian
"It is told with a remarkable and poetic conciseness, in relation to war movies, painfully sad and difficult to bear."
The Independent
"A devastating and heartbreaking film, of course it's not a movie for the family, but it's a beautifully constructed and animated drama (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
Dan Jolin: Empire
"'Grave of the Fireflies' may be the pinnacle of adult animation (...) Did the latest Pixar movie make you cry? It will tear your heart and soul."
