In This Corner of the World | Ratings & Reviews

"Little-known Japanese animation studio MAPPA adds a sweet and respectful title to the enormous library of World War II cinema with this adaptation of Fumiyo Kono’s coming-of-age manga."

Flicks, Liam MagurenFlicks

"A wistfully nostalgic time capsule of civilian life under the catastrophic tide of war."

VarietyVariety

"An exquisite portrait of Hiroshima before the bomb that conjures a powerful sense of what - and who - was lost."

Total FilmTotal Film

"The quietly revealing tale from the director Sunao Katabuchi follows the childhood and arranged marriage of Suzu, an "ordinary", but utterly resilient girl, who also has a talent for drawing."

The TimesThe Times

"Confronting the horrors of history head-on can make for cinema that's impossible to shake, but Katabuchi's painterly, introspective film proves a sideways approach can be just as indelible."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"That's the beautiful idea – to depict the lives of ordinary people during an extraordinary time, rather than the actions of extraordinary people, like pilots and generals."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"A little gem that deserves to find a global audience."

StuffStuff

"The crowd-funded film's many charms spring as much from its tone of sorrow as from its lingering hope, ensuring the quiet, patient feature has a sizeable impact."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"This is one of the year’s best…"

FilmInkFilmInk

"A gorgeously rendered and deeply personal portrayal of a young woman's life in the part of the world where history's greatest conflict reached a devastating conclusion."
