Okko’s Inn, adapted from Hiroko Reijo’s children’s novel series, offers a heartwarming blend of grief, growth, and ghostly friendships wrapped in smooth, charming animation. While certain plot elements—like unrealistic character independence and oddly youthful portrayals—may raise questions, the film still delivers meaningful lessons about resilience, forgiveness, and moving forward after loss. Though animated and centered on a child, its mature themes are best appreciated with parental guidance. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)

Although it doesn't hit the high-water mark of ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ and similarly-themed Studio Ghibli fare, Kitarō’s ‘Okko’s Inn’ is, like the tradition of omotenashi itself, charming and effective at pleasing its young audience, and goes well beyond a napkin on the lap or smile upon arrival. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-okkos-inn-a-gentle-tale-of-ghosts-and-human-kindness
