Mirai Ratings & Reviews

February 2, 2025
good but slow
Vox
Emily St. James
This is a movie for patient viewers, but trust that you will be richly rewarded.
The Lonely Film Critic
Tomas Trussow
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.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An entertaining animated film about a young boy adjusting to a new baby with the help of his ancestors.
Paste Magazine
Toussaint Egan
Mirai is by no means a perfect film, but it may yet be Hosoda's best to date.
The Young Folks
Gary Shannon
Too many 2018 films are about "family," but Hosoda's "Mirai" feels like the first film to truly attempt to understand what it means to be a family in 2018.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Sweet, magical family adventure is best for older kids.
Jaredmobarak.com
Jared Mobarak
Hosoda delves into the mind of a child and all the turmoil and incapacitating stubbornness that comes from needing to rely on someone else for everything.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
Merits comparison to works of similar relevance and poetic ambitions, like Shoplifters and Roma, masterworks that share its inquiries about familial ties, parental insecurities, and the inescapable pull of the past.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
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.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Expands into a lyrical realm that is both very Japanese and entirely universal.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The latest gem from Japanese anime master Mamoru Hosoda concerns a little boy's conflict with his baby sister. It may be the animator's smallest film, but it stands tall. You'll be enchanted.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Mirai doesn't really speak for young viewers, just down to them.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The painstaking animation becomes more and more elaborate, culminating in a child's-eye view of a bustling train station and a bullet train transformed into a demonic carriage for lost children.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Without any preamble, Kun's courtyard refuge turns into a kind of magic zone where no-limits fantasy and recognizable reality unapologetically intertwine in a way that is quintessentially Hosoda.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Hosoda and his team at Studio Chizu match the weighty narrative issues - parents in the audience would be well advised to bring a tissue or two - with enthralling and inventive animation that only serves to up the overall emotional impact of Mirai.
New York Times
Bilge Ebiri
In the best possible way, "Mirai" feels like the dream of a very wise child.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
The fabric of the fantasy world depicted in the film lacks the cohesion of its central theme about appreciating one's place in a family tree.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
There's a lot of narrative jump-rope to get through, but it's still enchanting and brave.
Variety
Peter Debruge
It's the work of a true auteur (in what feels like his most personal film yet) presented as innocuous family entertainment.
