Plot Story : The setting is Yokohama in 1963, and the filmmakers lovingly bring to life the bustling seaside town, with its misty harbor, sun-drenched gardens, shops and markets, and some of the most mouthwatering Japanese home-cooking set to film. The story centers on an innocent romance beginning to bud between Umi and Shun, two high school kids caught up in the changing times. Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics - and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the young generation struggles to throw off the shackles of a troubled past. While the children work together to save a dilapidated Meiji era club house from demolition, their tentative relationship begins to blossom. But - in an unexpected twist that parallels what the country itself is facing - a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart. (c) GKids

Review For Movie From Up On Poppy Hill

The gorgeous score and subtle visual craft save this entry in the Ghibli canon from mediocrity. But given what the studio is capable of, it's not everything fans will be hoping for.
Catherine Bray-Time Out

A departure for Studio Ghibli - an emotionally nuanced, nostalgic look at the past that is grounded in everyday reality but retains the humor and delight that are part of the studio's trademark.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald

Goro Miyazaki has a style that's both more painterly and more cinematic than the cartoonish norm, while his father's screenplay is a classic coming-of-age story that seems suited for a live-action remake.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In the wisdom of this artfully rendered film, Umi and Shun - and the viewer - come to learn that the past and the future should go hand in hand, that the best way to move forward is to reflect, and respect, what came before.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer

The story of a girl grappling with first love, the absence of her parents and the anxieties of an on-rushing future in 1963 Yokohama has all the earmarks of a Miyazaki classic.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post

The film's perfectly fine, but it's not a patch on "Spirited Away," "My Neighbor Totoro," "Princess Mononoke," and other Studio Ghibli classics.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe

The story will undoubtedly appear slow moving and uneventful to those used to the pizzazz of Pixar, but allow the richly detailed hand-drawn animation to work its charms and the film's mood of gentle nostalgia proves surprisingly moving.
Jason Best-Movie Talk

From Up on Poppy Hill may be able to boast about its outstanding music and smooth animation, but it's far too flat to leave much of an impression.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com

A lovely Japanese hand-drawn animated film with a female heroine.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

It's really hard to go wrong with a Studio Ghibli film, and From Up on Poppy Hill is no exception. It may not be their very best work, but it's still good work, full of charm and fun.
Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat

The magic is found in the everyday details of domestic life.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm

A gently lyrical diversion for Ghibli die-hards ... a gentle snooze for others.
Guy Lodge-This is London

It's a lively, touching story, full of sadness and optimism, drawn with an unaffected simplicity.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

An interesting way of tackling everything from understanding parentage to the atomic bomb which devastated Nagasaki.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail

From Up On Poppy Hill finds Goro Miyazaki sitting much more comfortably in the director's chair, but fans of Studio Ghibli's fantasy epics may find this fanciful delight to be lacking the familiar magic.
Michael Leader-Film4

Beautifully precise architectural sketches, endearingly warm nostalgia, gentle teen romance and genuine intrigue.
Tara Brady-Irish Times

It ... arrives with the vast reserves of patience, optimism and artistry we've come to expect from this studio.
Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK]

The incest-scare subplot never trips up the movie's charm. And there's a haunting reverberance, very Hayao Miyazaki, to the war memories that empower the parental back-stories.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times

Not up there with the Ghibli masterworks of yore, but still a bounty of ideas and emotions.
David Jenkins-Little White Lies

You don't watch a Studio Ghibli film so much as sink into it like a hot spring, with groans of delight.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph

Joyously warm and gentle... though perhaps too gentle to be entirely satisfying.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

From Up on Poppy Hill's protagonists emerge as unexpectedly facetless, especially from a studio with such a vibrant and morally complex back catalogue.
Kirsty Leckie-Palmer-The Skinny

The sincerity and sentiment of this film are there to be basked in. Yet audiences outside Japan may find the subject too serious and yet too slight; there's a reason why films about potential incest aren't often as cute as this.
Eddie Harrison-The List

Not on a par with Ghibli's greatest work like Totoro or Spirited Away but not without charms of its own. A solid second effort from Miyazaki Junior.
Owen Williams-Empire Magazine

From the studio that brought us classics like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, this animated drama feels unusually low-key and realistic.
