Denne L A film that many fans will find emotional, but when looked at objectively, it’s quite weak. The script is full of conveniences, leaves several storylines undeveloped, and has many disconnected scenes. Qualities like the animation, soundtrack, and visuals aren’t enough to hold up this weak film. 4/10 or 5/10 ✅️ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
