	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a charming, resonant work (...) Hosoda has a lovely, light touch and leavens the proceedings with dry, well-observed humor"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Japanese animation master Mamoru Hosoda delivers a story of such intimate, unpretentious simplicity (...) It’s the work of a true auteur (in what feels like his most personal film yet) presented as innocuous family entertainment."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri The New York Times	"Hosoda’s film privileges moments of emotion over belabored story mechanics. Thus, it gathers complexity without sacrificing any of its guileless modesty."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Mirai' casts a spell that works on children and adults alike, but in different ways. Its creator’s artistry and empathy are the connecting links (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"I get why some adults might enjoy 'Mirai,' but I can't honestly say that I like it, nor can I imagine kids liking it either (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly	"Mind-boggling visuals are well-balanced with a grounded attitude and an appreciation for the little moments in life."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A beguilingly sweet-natured little gem (...) A work of heart-swelling beauty and considerable charm"	POS
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"Hosoda’s delicate, painterly style is perfect for capturing Kun’s evanescent imaginary haven – and conveying the message about the moral courage needed to leave it (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Great animation can put its finger on the essence of a human feeling or experience like that, often with a precision and insight that even the best live-action performances can’t match (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
