Whisper of the Heart

"10/10 I will henceforth enjoy Country Roads even more! This gave me so much serotonin, it’s everything I could ask from a sweet, romantic slice of life film. My new fav Ghibli"

"so so sweet! slice of life type romance! I adore the ending so much"

"Inspiring book for young artists of any type. Well done and heart worming 🥰. I loved how they used the characters Muta and the Barron in the later film "The Cat Returns""

"******* cheesy "

"absolutely adorable, very much a relatable comfort movie"

"funny, awkward, and adorable :))"

"honestly didn’t really like this one! it was kind of boring and uneventful. there was a good meaning and story behind it but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped to!"

"My ask time favorite studio ghibli film! "

"My absolute favorite Studio Ghibli movie!! It amazes me how despite WOTH being a reality-based story (unlike most of the fantasy/ magical realism that is the majority of Studio Ghibli films) that it still has this magical feeling. The mundane can be special. Also, as a writer Shizuku’s journey is so relatable. I feel that the premise of finding personal satisfaction over meeting expectations is something I struggle with that was written perfectly into a story. Hayao Miyazaki was not the director, but did do the art and screenplay. This movie is seriously underrated."

"I loved how this was written. A coming of age story about improving yourself and in the end finding things you didn’t think you would, or even be capable of."
