The Secret World of Arrietty<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n
Glenn Kenny (Some Came Running)<\/a><\/strong> raves, \u201cIt\u2019s always great to see an animated film that\u2019s pitched at kids but doesn\u2019t pander to them. As is always the case with films from this studio, there isn\u2019t a Smash Mouth song within 100 miles of these proceedings. And its modulations are a welcome break from the freneticism usually associated with such fare. While it doesn\u2019t offer much in the way of \u201csophisticated\u201d content for adults, it brings something much more valuable, really: genuine aesthetic bliss.\u201d<\/li>\n
Steven Greydanus (National Catholic Register)<\/a><\/strong> says, \u201cThe Secret World of Arrietty<\/em> just might change the way you look at the world around you \u2014 right around you. A wide-eyed sense of discovery and revelation permeates the film, and what it reveals is \u2026 the mystery and wonder of an ordinary home.\u201d<\/li>\n
Tasha Robinson (AV Club)<\/a><\/strong> writes, \u201cArrietty \u2026 <\/em>consistently manages the hat trick of making the world look simultaneously familiar and enticingly alien. That duality is at the heart of Studio Ghibli\u2019s films, which so often access the purest joys of life without slathering on the sentiment or denying its occasional grimness. And like the best of them,\u00a0Arrietty <\/em>is nuanced enough to acknowledge how good intentions can be as damaging as bad ones, yet simple enough to take bittersweet pleasure in every aspect of life, whether happy or sad, just because it exists. The studio\u2019s films are about journeys\u2014some of them on a large scale, some tiny and internal.\u00a0Arrietty <\/em>cleverly manages both at once.\u201d<\/li>\n
Jesse Cataldo (Slant):<\/a><\/strong> \u201cLife lessons are imparted with startling tenderness, the inevitable separateness of humanity and nature is gently reinforced, and a plaintive look is taken at a vanishing way of life, resulting in a bittersweet picture of childhood woven with painstaking care.\u201d<\/li>\n
N. K. Carter (Filmwell)<\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cHere as in many other Miyazaki films, the human need for possession and control wreaks havoc on the many wonders of the world. Thankfully,\u00a0Arrietty <\/em>makes for a more subtle ecological parable than, say,\u00a0Princess Mononoke<\/em> and its literally dying forest god, and there\u2019s considerably more optimism about the possibility of mutually beneficial coexistence.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
