The Secret World of Arrietty

Why watch?
“There’s something incredible about children’s films that manage to hint at the well of feelings and experiences still to come, which is quite amazing, and that Arrietty captures that period of adolescence with a strange realism whilst never losing grip of the magic of the story it’s telling. It's really a wonder to me.”
