A L R 4h Didn’t expect a musical number performance at all. See more Jeremy H 1d Visually stunning with an exceptionally drawn characters and expressive animations. The overall story was good but it didn't really offer new insights to the material. I did enjoy seeing it in IMAX and would recommend that experience if you don't want to wait to watch it at home.

See more Tks O @RainKudo1990 2d Akira Kurosawa’s influence in SCARLET is clearly felt in choreography—the precision with which bodies move, clash, and occupy space. Action is staged with a classical clarity that recalls Kurosawa’s sense of movement as narrative force. Yet the film’s true "cathedral" is not built from spectacle alone. It emerges from Mamoru Hosoda’s meticulous accumulation of deliberate directorial choices: shifts in perspective, abrupt transitions, symbolic spatial design, and emotional misdirection. Individually, these elements can feel disorienting on a first viewing. Over repeated viewings, however, they interlock. What first appears fragmented gradually resolves into structure. Earlier confusion turns into recognition, and motifs align into thematic clarity. SCARLET is designed not simply to be understood, but revisited—its meaning built vertically, layer by layer, like a cathedral visible only when one steps back to see it whole.
