Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Sweet and touching, this piece of Japanese animation takes real emotions and weaves them into a fantastical story. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Jared Mobarak Jaredmobarak.com 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 Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 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. Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Autumn Wright 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 Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies 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 Sep 7, 2022 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat Shin’ya Kawatsura’s film will transport you to a higher plain of wonder far above the broken pavement of this world. Rated: 9/10 Sep 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
