A young girl is sent to the country for health reasons, where she meets an unlikely friend in the form of Marnie, a young girl with flowing blonde hair. As the friendship unravels it is possible that Marnie has closer ties to the protagonist than we might expect.
When Marnie Was There is a sad movie for a lot of reasons. First, it's a sweet and mature story about two young girls who become each others best friends, but underneath the innocent relationship lies a far deeper and tragic bond between them. Secondly, it is animation house Studio Ghibli's (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke) last film before taking a very long hiatus, or even stop making films altogether. Very sad indeed. A great film from some of the best minds in the animation industry.
Genre: Animation/Drama
