From the legendary Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo) comes 'The Secret World of Arrietty,' an animated adventure based on Mary Norton's acclaimed children's book series 'The Borrowers.'
Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all.

The natural world shimmers with wonder and Arrietty's tiny domestic world is lovingly rendered. After the sometimes brash in-your-face dazzle of CGI, it's a delight to experience again the delicate, painterly charms of old-fashioned hand-drawn animation. -Jason Best

While this is a deeply rewarding film, people with short attention spans might not get as much out of it. Those willing to let these wonderful little characters into their hearts however, will find a film they won't soon forget. -Stephen Lambrechts

Studio Ghibli has made some fine animated films and this adaptation of Mary Norton's The Borrowers is well up to its high standard. -Derek Malcolm

Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky's the limit - major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies.

Drama, comedy, action and romance are intertwined in this gorgeously photographed and brilliantly directed film. Lead performances are thoroughly engaging despite - or perhaps because of - being wordless. - USA Today

Here is one of the most entertaining films in many a moon, a film that charms because of its story, its performances and because of the sly way it plays with being silent and black and white. - Roger Ebert

Streep is her own irresistible show as she assumes, with the precision that is her trademark, the character of the U.K.'s staunchly conservative prime minister in the 1980s. -Entertainment Weekly
