Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms's reviews
Media reviews
Collider
'Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms' has a lot to say, from the broad strokes ideas about warfare and how it sows needless conflict, to more personal relationships between people, and it?s best experienced rather than read about. Do yourself a favor and book a ticket for you, your mom, and maybe even the kiddos this weekend.
The Hollywood Reporter
It showcases Okada's ability to depict complex relationships and project delicate character arcs.
Time Out
A Japanese fantasy animation with class and charm (...) Compelling.
The Guardian
Impressive anime spectacle (...) As an examination of the bonds of motherhood, it?s a little overwrought and screechy; as a visual spectacle, it?s beguiling.
The Guardian
Heart-meltingly lovely in places, with some cracking battle scenes (...) The animation here is dazzling.
