Mirai
Mirai turns a young child's jealousy over a new baby sister into a 103-minute family fantasy. Netflix is the only service named for the movie on this page. Much of its appeal comes from seeing a household through the boy's restless perspective: a disrupted routine can feel enormous, while a trip through time can seem like a natural extension of his frustration. The movie moves through connected encounters rather than chasing one continuous adventure plot. Its comedy comes from emotions that spill out at full volume, while the drama asks the boy to recognize that his relatives had lives before he knew them. It is a strong fit for viewers who enjoy gentle family stories and do not mind an episodic rhythm.
About
A young boy struggles when his baby sister begins taking up so much of his parents' attention. Feeling pushed aside, he retreats to the family garden, where familiar afternoons start opening onto impossible meetings with relatives at other moments in their lives. A future version of his sister is among the visitors who challenges the way he sees his place at home. Each encounter gives him a child's-eye glimpse of family history without losing sight of his immediate worries. The fantasy remains tied to his confusion as he learns to make space for someone new.
