Review of The Secret World of Arrietty

If you want a beautiful, soothing story to watch on a rainy day with a bittersweet ending then this is the movie. Arietty does not have major plot twists, does not explore big themes but it still manages to give you something very unique and lovely. This is a movie you watch when you are tired of everything and you need something peaceful. The ending is not idealistic but rather bittersweet and fitting to the overall theme and message that it wanted to send. The arts style is very Ghibli. I especially liked the voice acting especially for shou. Though he did not havemany dialogues he still managed to make the character memorable. The music was amazing. Probably one of the best music score i have heard in a Ghibli movie except for spirited away.
