When Marnie Was There

Sent to the countryside to recover from an illness, a withdrawn adolescent girl becomes fascinated by an abandoned mansion near the water. There, she forms an intense friendship with a mysterious girl, while the relationship draws her into questions about belonging, memory, and her own past.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer gentle, emotional mysteries about loneliness and friendship, with beautiful visuals and a reflective pace; Not for you if you want fast action or sweeping fantasy like The Secret World of Arrietty.
