But with the help of flashbacks, it offers enough to help viewers appreciate what she's been through, and to acknowledge the significance of her journey going forward.

This is a brave effort at taking a popular formula and using it to address far deeper themes.

A film that delicately deals with the emotional connections between people - both living and dead - and how survivors heal and grow after trauma, seems perfectly suited for this moment.

Rated: 4/5

I'm sorry that I didn't like it better... I couldn't get very much out of it.

To begin it’s KyoAni. Animation was spectacular, at some points of the film some of visuals looked like if they real life photographs. Very well paced and written perfectly. Great movie for everyone and anyone.

Yes, this feels like just two episodes stuck together to make it feature length runtime. But, since Violet Evergarden is a great series, these are still great episodes. The character of Violet Evergarden could be placed in just about any situation and it would make for a delightful time. The quality of the series is a two-edged sword, this movie is good, but it wouldn't even be the best episodes of the series. Violet works better as a writer than as a trainer of proper etiquette. She grew up in the war, she isn't the best fit for manners. It still brings the emotional hits the series is known for, but not its best.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
