The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
Emotions and moods are anchored to specific moments of stillness, and we feel them all the more intensely because of it.

The Hollywood Reporter - Leslie Felperin
It’s a lovely piece of work.

The A.V. Club - David Ehrlich
A devastating and deceptively simple tale adapted from 10th-century folklore, Isao Takahata’s The Tale Of Princess Kaguya distills a millennium of Japanese storytelling into a timeless film that feels both ancient and alive in equal measure.

The Playlist - Oliver Lyttelton
It's a remarkably gorgeous piece of work.

Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
Glacially told gem from animator Isao Takahata, the 78-year-old cofounder with Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli.
