Reviews for this film from our members:
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: As someone more taken by the humanity than the fantasy of Ghibli’s films, I didn’t at all mind Poppy Hill’s lack of creatures, surreal imagery, and culturally distant concepts. It’s easy to forget you’re watching a Ghibli production or even an animated film as you get caught up in this simple but compelling story set fifty years in the past.
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: It’s a minor work. There’s no argument around that. Still, it’s got a good heart, and likable characters.

- Excerpt: Like his old man, the younger Miyazaki favors limited character animation and luscious water colors. Unfortunately, he lacks his father’s storytelling skills.
