Rating: 4/5 -- With Studio Ghibli in an indefinite haitus, we must cherish their beloved films, and this is one of the very best. Full Review

5 stars out of 5 -- This is an utterly beguiling classic: delicate, charming and tender, an animation that draws on the 'family movie' tradition of Japan’s classic live-action cinema.

As he did with Grave of the Fireflies, Takahata infuses the smallest of moments with a sense of sublime longing. The true joys of life are never far from one's grasp, but one must be present to truly appreciate them. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Much of the emotional content is universal, especially the feelings of disappointment and shame that animation can portray with special force. Full Review

[I]t has a cumulative power as Taeko comes to understand that the past that shaped her needn’t define her. That’s a remarkably sophisticated theme for any film, let alone a cartoon.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Only Yesterday is one of Studio Ghibli's films aimed primarily at female viewers ... an intentional story that is emotionally honest. Full Review

Product Description:

Legendary animator Isao Takahata wrote and directed this nostalgic film, based on a manga by Yuko Tone and Hotaru Okamoto. The story centers on Taeko, a 27-year-old office worker who is sick of her job and ready for a change. As she ventures to the rural Yamagata prefecture to visit her sister and brother-in-law, her mind wanders back to moments from her childhood and adolescence. While reflecting on her coming-of-age experiences, Taeko bonds with her brother-in-law's cousin, a hard-working farmer, and attempts to learn who she truly is. Originally released in Japan in 1991, ONLY YESTERDAY finally received an official U.S. release from GKids in 2016; the English-language version boasts newly recorded voice-over work from Daisy Ridley, Dev Patel, Ashley Eckstein, and Alison Fernandez.
