"A beautifully observed, dazzlingly animated sci-fi fairy tale."—Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

"Perhaps the most ambitious film to date by Japanese animator Mamoru Hosoda, which he himself describes as, 'the one I’ve been waiting to make.'"—Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

From the celebrated Oscar nominated director Mamoru Hosoda (Mirai, Wolf Children) comes a fantastical, heartfelt story of growing up in the age of social media. Suzu is a shy, high school student living in a rural village. For years, she has only been a shadow of herself. But when she enters “U”, a massive virtual world, she escapes into her online persona as Belle, a gorgeous and globally-beloved singer. One day, her concert is interrupted by a monstrous creature chased by vigilantes. As their hunt escalates, Suzu embarks on an emotional and epic quest to uncover the identity of this mysterious “beast” and to discover her true self in a world where you can be anyone.
