Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community Stranger by the Shore is perfection. It’s a love story that is about the characters as individuals as it is about them as a pair… Apr 16, 2023 Full Review Grace Han Asian Movie Pulse The film truly is eye-candy; it is rare to find such an explicitly queer anime film on such a high budget... [but it's] a drama made for the sake of drama – and without, paradoxically, any of the gut-wrenching drama that it was written to come with. Rated: 2/5 May 25, 2022 Full Review Alix Turner 25YL (25 Years Later) A coming of age drama and a romance between two young men; it is endearing without being condescending, encouraging and quite beautiful. Rated: 4/5 Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Matt Schley Japan Times In adapting the excellent manga, the team behind this film have proved once again that more is less. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
