      Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) A beautiful love story without the supernatural elements of some of Shinkai's more popular films Jun 29, 2020 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Its short running time and total lack of genre trappings give it an intimate simplicity that Shinkai's more sprawling, longer films struggle with. Rated: 4.5/5 May 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Basu D The garden of world love not in matter this aygh Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Holly S é o filme mais lindo da minha vida toda. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Idan Charles L Very emotional ❤️😭👍 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Cody Z I'm biased toward this film as it was the first Makoto Shinkai film I had ever seen, but it still stands up to his other works. The animation is stunning, especially in the rain. I can totally see why some might not like this one because of the age gap between the two leads, but to me I saw it not as romantic but more as an intense friendship. (I am not denying that Takao had a crush on Yukino but that it was reciprocated as romantic. This is explored further in the manga). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Dionisius D I really really really love this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Nathan G Beautiful animation. A slow pace and lack of character development limit this film slightly, but it is still a touching story that is a good addition to Shinkai's filmography. I really do not know why his films are always so focused on characters with such big age gaps... Score: 70% 👍 Verdict: Good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
