If you loved The Secret World of Arrietty, try When Marnie Was There

What they share
Both films are directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret World of Arrietty, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
