Sweet and touching, this piece of Japanese animation takes real emotions and weaves them into a fantastical story.

Rated: 2.5/4

The film is therefore about healing above all else—with a dash of mythologizing come true. A solid, heartwarming drama that balances the real world with the supernatural.

Rated: 7/10

Warm, wise and wonderful. As poet Pablo Neruda once wrote, "They can cut all of the flowers, but they can't stop the spring from coming." The House of the Lost on the Cape captures the essence of that poem.

Paste Magazine

Its themes, subject matter and messages are tempered by uninspiring art direction and a narrative more suited to a visual novel (down to the twinkly acoustic guitar in the soundtrack).

Rated: 6.5/10

The House of the Lost on the Cape is a fine story without the fantasy elements, but with them, it's a completely different and less successful one.

Rated: 2.5/4

Shin’ya Kawatsura’s film will transport you to a higher plain of wonder far above the broken pavement of this world.

Super boring. The only good experience I got out of it was playing tic tac toe and rock paper scissors with my mom to pass the time.
