Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Despite being set in a Lord of the Rings-ish fantasy world, the core themes of loss, aging, and motherhood have real-world emotional resonance.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
I loved everything about the film
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
If the film is a bit frustrating on the storytelling front, it makes up for it with some staggeringly beautiful imagery.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[A] beautiful and melancholic story about myth and reality, death and what it means to live, and the inherent contradictions of parenthood.
Rotoscopers
Rachel Wagner
Not only is this film extremely ambitious but it is also a sweet heartfelt story about the bond between a mother and her adopted son
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
The film embraces its female-centric premise while mostly eschewing traditional romance for its heroine, preferring to focus on passion of another kind, with the movie's rich visuals bringing all of its ideals to breathtaking life.

It's sweet to the point of ugly crying with bittersweetness
Film Threat
Alan Ng
I could easily find myself dismissing these stories strangely told stories and miss out on a beautiful tale, simply because it's different. If you're not a fan of anime, give it try. Be open and patient.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
We don't even notice how deep Okada has driven her storytelling dagger until she pulls it out in the end, and the tears come, adding, to the bitterness and sweetness of this moving and strange little fable, a hefty dose of salt.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
This eerie and affecting feature debut from writer-director Mari Okada blends fantasy and coming-of-age stories.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Solomon
At almost two hours, the film feels a bit long and suffers from multiple endings, but Okada is clearly a talent to watch.
Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
The storyline doesn't explore motherhood much farther than this, but the emotional resonance is powerfully evocative.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
Mari Okada directs and pens a film that revolves around three concepts that intertwine and combine to a rather unique presentation: Love, time and memory.
IGN Movies
Miranda Sanchez
In her directorial debut Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, Mari Okada weaves a beautiful story about motherhood, aging, and loss.
