Beautifully animated and narratively engaging, Weathering with You further establishes writer-director Makoto Shinkai as a singularly talented filmmaker.

Weathering With You also explores the myriad effects of climate change on our industrialized society, but I think its message is one of simultaneous resignedness and hope.

Makoto Shinkai's sixth feature-length cartoon, Weathering with You, oozes visual lyricism and primal yearning.

2.5/5

Unfortunately, I was not as taken back by the film, which may be more because of personal preferences rather than Shinkai’s storytelling.

...The animation itself in Weathering With You is as stunning as you might hope, with images so beautiful you’d want to have them framed on your wall. There’s also upbeat pop music, and a climate-change theme that’s enviromentally sound...

The movie is pretty delocated and intertwined with Japanese culture and anectode. It also give you the atmosphere of adolescent love.

Beautiful animation and nice music. How plot works is similar to "Your Name," but it was still enjoyable.
