Mirai (Mirai no Mirai) [Sub: Eng]
The story tells of a 4-year-old boy struggling to cope with the arrival of a small sister in the family, which seems ideal for him. It seems very good in that family where the mysterious garden in the backyard of the boy's house becomes a gate that allows the child to return in time. On the other hand, it seems that the mother is still facing his great grandfather as a young man who lives a series of adventures full of imagination.

Like Hayao Miyazaki, whose mantle Hosoda is often considered to be on an unofficial short list to pick up, Hosoda tells this child's story at a child's eye level, and the diversions feel part and parcel of that point of view.February 12, 2019
Beautiful [animation] work that stands out on its own, and worthy of an Oscar nomination. When surrounded by everything else, however, it becomes an exception to an otherwise disappointing whole.January 04, 2019
