Audience Member Oh my gosh. Wow. I. LOVED. THAT. The ending, while depressing, was also very realistic (which I applaud it for; it's not many a romance-movie that is willing to admit how first loves most end). The meat of the movie is very feel-good, which was also a nice change of pace from what I typically watch. There's also a nice bit of character development towards the very end--both the protagonist and her brother develop an understanding of how to better fend for themselves. Overall, it was well worth the long run time. The only qualm I really have is with the long shots of characters just staring at each other. Or the wall. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. A few of them are fine (and can actually be quite nice when used properly), but too many of them makes for an awkward ride. Barring that, I can't recommend this movie enough. Just... prepare for the feels. ^^' Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/01/16 Full Review Audience Member Generally thin and flat. No pun intended to Yu Aoi (as lead character Suzuko Satô), who actually rescued the movie from the thinness and flatness IMO. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this would be a comedy but is a kind of road movie were the important thing is the inner growth. The end is mesmerizing and confusing, maybe because of that the movie likes more than i think in a first moment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member ????????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member How I'd want to spend one of my summers Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Lovely movie. Better in its funny and melancholic moments, than in the dramatic ones. I loved the ending! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
