I am so happy I never saw the trailer and the MAL description for this movie before it was released was completely wrong (it seems like it was based on the book which I haven't read yet and the movie changed things) because I got to go in blind. I was expecting a moving drama about 3 females of varying ages trying to find refuge from their traumatic backstories together that would make me cry. I got magical realism about a kind witch (not actually a witch but close enough) who adopts an orphan who lost her voice and a teenager who ran awayfrom her abusive father (rather than a woman running from her abusive husband as in the novel because married women are forbidden in anime I guess) and they live together in her magical, sentient house (Mayoiga) on a secluded peninsula along with youkai such as kappa, guardian dogs, and talking jizo statues. But in this world, not everything magical means humans good will...

Again, they probably changed a lot from the original novel, but what we've ended up with is a tight, well-produced, immersive story with strong characters and well-proportioned whimsy and drama. No loose ends or sequel hooks, it tells the story it wanted to tell.

So yeah, if you like found families and also magic and youkai, I recommend this movie. I already want to watch it again.
