Kaine S Honestly… this is something I will never forget…. I literally had to walk away at a point to collect myself. And the way this movie tugged my heart was truly incredible… 10/5 sad I won’t be able to watch this for the first time anymore… Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Ryan F Absolutely stunning. Made a rotten tomato’s account just to rate it 5, and I’m a huge movie fan. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Andrew M Even people who aren't the biggest anime fans will love this movie. This is one of my favorites. The animation is breathtaking. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Георги В A movie with a complex storyline, intriguing characters, an amazing art style and music. This is one of if not the best film in the genre. Watching this story unfold is an amazing experience for sure, I absolutely recommend anybody who has not seen it to go and watch it immediately. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Jay W Not just another body swap movie: The BEST body swap movie ever. People had been recommending me to see "Your Name." for years. I was hesitant. I've seen so many body swap movies, and even more body swap cartoon episodes. I thought the trope had been done to death. I've seen it all before, and I don't need to see it anymore. I figured the animation looks great but surely the story will be tired and cliched. Especially when it is a boy switching with a girl, I'm sure there will be several easy role reversal jokes and lessons learned about walking a mile in someone else's shoes. But I finally got around to actually watching the film, and thankfully I was 100% wrong. This movie was not just beautifully animated, but also told a beautiful story. The story does not waste any time in getting started, and jumps right into the body swap element of the story. Like many things in the film, they incorporate it in a very clever way. No explanation is explicitly given, whether it has do with solar flares, an ancient ritual, some cosmic link or just opening a fortune cookie at the same time the fact is these two characters have swapped bodies. They forego all the tired tropes of this convention along the way. When they swap bodies, they don't trade voice actors, that always bothered me with other "Freaky Friday" body swaps, why would their voice change? But you can still tell whose in which body by their actions and attitude. There is no attempt by the one to destroy the life of the other for petty reasons. And there isn't much of a "I guess it isn't easy being you..." lesson involved in it. The characters are a ton of fun, you quickly get invested in the drama of their lives and root for them to succeed. The story takes a number of twists and turns that I did not see coming. There were actually a couple of moments that made me audibly gasp while I was watching it. I was really that invested in the story. This movie has helped me see the benefits of revisiting old story telling tropes. Because most of us are already familiar with the body swap story, the creator is able to take that and put a new twist on the story. I thank all those who wouldn't shut up about this movie, and thank them for not spoiling the different story beats. Nor will I spoil them here. Suffice it to say: It's a new twist on an old classic, the name of the best body swap movie is "Your Name." Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Gabriel E. B Hermosa, cotidiana. Hermosamente cotidiana. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
