Lu Over the Wall Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
It's colorful and imaginative, but other than Lu, the characters don't have much depth. Emotional, that is, not oceanographic.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
I can't lie: I was bored throughout the 112 minutes I spent watching Lu Over the Wall.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Even the moments of high danger have a bubbling joy to them: Aquatic slapstick and abandoned dogs turned into merpups set the giggly tone, while Lu flows and flops, all big grins and jellyfishlike dance moves.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Throughout, director Masaaki Yuasa's imagination runs so wild that it becomes impossible to resist.
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
A surprisingly sweet and passionate story.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Thirsting for a deeply whimsical, relentlessly playful, and intensely sweet spectacle?
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
Lu Over the Wall is many films, all of them vying for the same screen time. It's as chaotic as it sounds.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The film has a scrappy, sometimes cheap look to it (characters look flat, like thin-lined Etch-a-Sketch drawings, superimposed over more colorful hand-painted backgrounds), for which it more than compensates via other strengths ...
Los Angeles Times
Charles Solomon
Yuasa's bold imagery and sometimes convoluted storytelling defy the conventions of traditional animated filmmaking, but he is clearly an artist with an individual vision whose work offers something genuinely new and eye-catching.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
Unfortunately, Yuasa and cowriter Reiko Yoshida stay at surface level with the narrative.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The character renderings feel more rushed than the rich, warm backgrounds. What the film gains in energy, it loses in the kinds of expressive details that make two-dimensional figures seem like they breathe three-dimensional life.
Village Voice
Sherilyn Connelly
Even by anime standards, Lu Over the Wall is best enjoyed by disconnecting your logic circuits and just enjoying the pretty colors and sounds.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Throughout the film, Yuasa's eye for vivid colors and slapsticky antics lead the way.
AwardsCircuit.com
Alan French
If given the opportunity, this is a wonderful children's movie that many kids should see. It serves as a good message and has some surprisingly emotional moments.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
Ultimately, it's Lu's sense of dizzy visual pluck that elevates the film above its sweet but straightforward fairy-tale foundation.
The Beat
Kyle Pinion
A sort of My Neighbor Totoro to Devilman's Grave of the Fireflies.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
This high-energy narrative flow is very much manifest in the animation... a tremendous achievement.
Pittsburgh Magazine
Sean Collier
Those with a flair for the style will find plenty of dazzling art and touching sentiment here.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
Masaaki Yuasa may be working in restrained mode, but his visual style remains intact. Lu is an adorable protagonist that audiences will adore while absorbing the vibrant animation.

Rachel Wagner
The animation felt like an sporadic assault on the screen and the story made absolutely no sense.
