  • Critic Reviews of "Grave of the Fireflies"

    Chicago Reader

    Writer-director Isao Takahata, a frequent collaborator of Miyazaki's at Studio Ghibli, adapted a partly autobiographical novel by Akiyuki Nosaka, and his handling of the tragic story is masterfully understated.

    Chicago Sun-Times
    January 01, 2000

    An emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation.

    Isao Takahata's masterpiece is one of the most profound anti-war statements ever brought to cinema

    Reel Film Reviews
    November 30, 2013

    ...a well-made and heartfelt drama that's just not as engrossing as it should be.

    Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
    July 11, 2013

    Such odd hopefulness, flitting around a child, mixed with the overwhelmingly sad, pervades Isao Takahata's film. And all around Seita and Setsuko, nature, in the face of human destruction and tragedy, persists in its beauty.

    Observer (UK)
    May 27, 2013

    The stylised images suit the simplicity and gravity of a grim story of love, sacrifice and survival in the face of adult indifference and cruelty.

    London Evening Standard
    May 24, 2013

    We're so used to seeing the human spirit triumph. Here, we're allowed to understand how it might fail.

    Guardian
    May 23, 2013

    There are magical moments of natural beauty and childish delight, too - which only make the tragedy even more harrowing.

    Little White Lies

    The idea that "War is Hell" has almost become something of a climatic cliché, but Takahata's film explores this well-worn slogan from new, exciting and harrowing angles.

    Total Film
    May 14, 2013

    Isao Takahata's powerful anti-war movie is all the more harrowing for the care we invest in its beautifully drawn children.

    Common Sense Media
    December 15, 2010

    Japanimation WWII tragedy the saddest. Cartoon. Ever.

    Senses of Cinema
    July 30, 2010

    The ephemeral fireflies, which fascinate the children and accompany them everywhere, become a potent and lyrical symbol of the fragility, brevity and beauty of life.
