Review: Only Yesterday (1991)

one of the many shots from Only Yesterday depicting a idyllic Japanese countryside

Going back to the Studio Ghibli catalogue for a bit here. This movie was directed by Isao Takahata who also directed Grave of the Fireflies. Grave of the Fireflies was quite good so I had high hopes for this one and it did not disappoint.

Review: The Quiet Girl (2022)

Quite possibly the most iconic shot from The Quiet Girl with the main character in frame.

First movie of the year! I saw this listed on a list of recommended movies and thought the premise seemed interesting so I put it on my watchlist.

Review: Amélie (2001)

Ah…the experience of zoning out and staring out the window of the subway train…

Ever get recommended a piece of media and it takes you years to get around to it? That was the case with this movie. It was recommended to me about three years ago and I got around to watching it on Christmas Day.

As I continue my journey of watching the Studio Ghibli movies it continues to amaze the sheer quality of these movies. This particular one is quite possibly the most joyous ones I’ve watched.
