The Telegraph
The movie is hauntingly romantic at heart, in the best spirit of a Gothic fairytale, but without the harsh shadows or hard edges. - 80
The Guardian
Telling the story through the eyes of the harried, bereaved but indomitable mother gives this calm, funny, only occasionally schmaltzy family film a maturity Twilight never reached. - 80
Total Film
Enchanting. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Wolf Children is rather an odd story, told in a one-of-a-kind style that feels equal parts sentimental, somber and strange. - 40
Time Out London
This anime feature takes an intriguing premise and does little with it. The detailed Ghibli-esque visuals are decent enough, but this is disappointingly bland.
