2/29/16 review of the anime Only Yesterday, dir. by Isao Takahata


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the anime Only Yesterday, directed by Isao Takahata.

The thread gives a summary of the 1991 anime. It discusses some of the reasons I liked the anime so much. And it discusses some of my sympathies with the films characters, and some other films the movie reminded me of. The thread also gives a link to the anime's website.

Here is the trailer for Only Yesterday.


I saw this film at the Landmark Esquire movie theater in Denver, Colorado.
