Critic Reviews of "Grave of the Fireflies"
Chicago ReaderJuly 14, 2002Writer-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-TimesJanuary 01, 2000An emotional experience so powerful that it forces a rethinking of animation.
Movie MezzanineFebruary 20, 2014Isao Takahata's masterpiece is one of the most profound anti-war statements ever brought to cinema
Reel Film ReviewsNovember 30, 2013...a well-made and heartfelt drama that's just not as engrossing as it should be.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)July 11, 2013Such 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, 2013The 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 StandardMay 24, 2013We're so used to seeing the human spirit triumph. Here, we're allowed to understand how it might fail.
GuardianMay 23, 2013There are magical moments of natural beauty and childish delight, too - which only make the tragedy even more harrowing.
Little White LiesMay 23, 2013The 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 FilmMay 14, 2013Isao Takahata's powerful anti-war movie is all the more harrowing for the care we invest in its beautifully drawn children.
Common Sense MediaDecember 15, 2010Japanimation WWII tragedy the saddest. Cartoon. Ever.
Senses of CinemaJuly 30, 2010The ephemeral fireflies, which fascinate the children and accompany them everywhere, become a potent and lyrical symbol of the fragility, brevity and beauty of life.
