Josee, the Tiger and the Fish Reviews
Austin Chronicle Richard Whittaker
Sumptuously animated and more optimistic than the source material because it is aimed at a broader audience, this version of Josee definitely swims in its own direction. Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Courtney Lanning
The movie has a great score that really enhances the story's more dramatic moments. And the film's pacing is spot on. Each ounce of character development from deaths and car crashes is rightfully earned with strong writing. But Why Tho? A Geek Community Kate Sánchez
Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is phenomenal. It's beautiful and charming. While the film is marketed as a coming-of-age story, it's a love story between adults finding themselves. Common Sense Media Tom Cassidy
Gentle and empathetic, this Japanese animation celebrates friendship and the joys of encouraging others. Josee, the Tiger and the Fish has the type of world one can easily be lost in. This slice-of-life film has enough magic to feel fantastical, while looking just like our world to feel relatable. Some unnecessary love triangle drama pads out the movie's third act, but overall Josee, The Tiger and The Fish stays emotionally gripping throughout. A beautifully animated film with a huge heart. FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Charles Solomon
It's an interesting kind of film that we would never make in [the United States]... A nice film, not a great film.
