Alonso Duralde Breakfast All Day I love this movie. Rated: 8.7/10 Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba 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. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine Makoto Shinkai's sixth feature-length cartoon, Weathering with You, oozes visual lyricism and primal yearning. Rated: A- Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek This Japanese anime takes the every day concept and builds a relationship between two teenagers yet to fully understand this film you need a little knowledge of Japan and its culture. Rated: 4/5 Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Tom O'Brien Next Best Picture Shinkai's technical achievement is his precision in capturing small details of urban life, with visuals so sharp that you might mistake them for a photograph at first glance. Yet there's an intensity of color in his drawings that no camera could provide. Rated: 8/10 Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Ayeen Forootan In Review Online Despite the catastrophic and even apocalyptic climate, Shinkai makes sure his world is shimmering in radiant colors, love and humanity shining through.

Icy X Aphid The animation is amazing!!! You just get so connected with the characters! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review N The movie is pretty delocated and intertwined with Japanese culture and anectode. It also give you the atmosphere of adolescent love. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/20 Full Review M.T. Beautiful animation and nice music. How plot works is similar to "Your Name," but it was still enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/20 Full Review Van T Best Movie I’ve seen all year, definitely worth the watch. Could easily watch this again and again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/20 Full Review Gilliany Makoto Shinkai strikes again! Beautiful visuals, soundtrack, and story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/20 Full Review Luis / Sabrina Amazing movie! Subtitled, but still powerful and gorgeous. Loved every minute of it, and my wife agreed. I do not know if this will get a dubbed version for English speakers, but either way, highly recommended if you like these genre of movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/20 Full Review Read all reviews
