Movie Info

Fathom Events and GKIDS bring MIRAI, a daringly original story of love passed down through generations from acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda and Japan's Studio Chizu, to select theaters on November 29, December 5 and 8. When four-year-old Kun meets his new baby sister, his world is turned upside down. Named Mirai (meaning "future"), the baby quickly wins the hearts of Kun's entire family. As his mother returns to work, and his father struggles to run the household, Kun becomes increasingly jealous of baby Mirai... until one day he storms off into the garden, where he encounters strange guests from the past and future -- including his sister Mirai, as a teenager. Together, Kun and teenage Mirai go on a journey through time and space, uncovering their family's incredible story. The epic capstone of director Mamoru Hosoda's career, Mirai is a sumptuous, magical, and emotionally soaring adventure about the ties that bring families together and make us who we are.

All Critics (30) | Top Critics (2)

It's the work of a true auteur (in what feels like his most personal film yet) presented as innocuous family entertainment.

A sweet child's-eye view of the world.

May 26, 2018 | Full Review…

Some scenes are mawkish, but most of it is enchanting, and it's grounded in a sweetly accurate study of how four-year-olds move.

Mirai is a lovely Japanese animation about sibling rivalry, parenting and magically-passed-on wisdom.

This is a beautiful film, dazzling and bold yet gentle-hearted in the ways it goes about presenting its world.

Mirai definitely puts Hosoda in the Japanese industry's top league, showing a similar spirit of high-blown romanticism as Your Name (2016), anime's high-water mark in recent years.
