Although the film is bubbly and full of happy colors, the subject is much darker and approached in a successful manner. It's Anime for the adult brain.

Rated: 4.5/5

Arias and Nakamura direct an extremely intricate story in a complex environment, with constant plot twists, very interesting characters, and many social and political messages. However, their direction does not succeed in portraying all this intricacy

It's bold, disturbing, and makes you think. The ending was a bit disappointing but still good film.

Rated: 3/5

Harmony prefers to stay behind the lecture podium, asking the audience to draw its own conclusions about free will but handing it too many notes to sift through.

Some very intersting ideas, also animation and graphics was good, but the way the stroy is told is boring. There are a lot of things that are left unsaid and some loopholes too. What the hell was the main charachter doing in a war area? The rythm is slow. It could have been so much better with some quality writing.

Harmony is the kind of movie that puts a lot on your plate, from political views and what it means to be human and to have free will all the way to deal with personal issues and trauma in both the main character and the main antagonist. It requires a lot of patience and can be boring for some it's still a brilliant concept and it did a wonderful job at story telling. It personally left me thinking about it for hours after it was over.

This movie is beautiful to watch. While the story is simple the underlying philosophy is not and the story flows well. This movie is mainly dialog and philosophy with only a few action scenes. The plot keeps you guessing and it attempt to subvert most common tropes, leaving you wondering who the good and bad guys are. I found the ending disappointing. While it had a great twist, it felt unsatisfying, however I notice the other ITOH movies are similar. I suspect the attempt is to subvert our common expectation of an ending, which it does well, but leaves us with an unsatisfying feeling. While not a classic, such as Ghost in the Shell, its well worth a watch.

Absolute desaster! No rhythm, a pseudo-philosophical scenario full of inconsistencies and bullshit. What a waste of time! About consciousness, better to read a book by Damasio!

The animation felt jumbled as it kept awkwardly switching from 2-D to 3-D animation. The story was good but the animation let it down.

It would be great if it was actually playing where it said it was going to show. No one in my area is showing it--even the SIFF that's aren't showing it.
