Quietly Beautiful and Touching
3 March 2012
The Secret World of Arrietty is a emotional journey of a young borrower who begins to explore the world around here, only to risk her home and family. the movie touches both young and old in this beautiful film.

The story centers around young borrower Arrietty, who lives with her family in the floorboards of a human house. The borrowers remain hidden from humans, however, Arrietty is seen by an ill human boy Sean. They slowly develop a friendship that strengthens both of them as they prepare to face difficult challenges.

The film is visually stunning with beautiful and detailed scenery. The director moves artfully between the perspective of tiny Arrietty and young Sean. The director also emotionally captures the wonder and awe as Arrietty enters a new human world.

Secret World of Arrietty is worth seeing for its beautiful drawings, great direction, and touching story. My daughter (9) and I both recommend this film.
