A girl lives with her adoptive parents and has no friends, until she meets Marnie. But when she disappears, the arrival of a new family to the region seems to be the key to solving the mystery.
Sometimes we see Studio Ghibli’s films simply because they act as eye drops for the screen as well as out retina. They clean it with those spotted rays of light that fall over the characters through the treetops; they soothe it with that proudly two-dimensional swell that moves haphazardly in the water scenes; they heal it with those faces in which innocence and surprise appear quintessentiated. When Marnie Was There is a very girly film about the rite of passage from childhood to youth. An extremely delicate tale that, like My Neighbor Totoro, takes a character off her unhappy urban environment and into nature for her to cross the thresholds of mystery and experience the first revelations of adult life.
