Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Brooklyn Magazine Beautifully animated (we're talking Studio Ghibli standards here), Your Name captures that sensation of waking up from a dream you wish lasted longer, or misplacing a name that's still warm on your tongue, but has just departed. May 1, 2017 Full Review Keith Phipps Uproxx By the time Your Name reaches its moving finale, the Next Big Thing tag doesn't seem quite enough for Shinkai. He's arrived already. Apr 11, 2017 Full Review Emily St. James Vox By the time Your Name reaches its final half-hour or so, the film has moved so far beyond its initial premise that if you think back to the beginning, you'll be astonished by how far it's come. Rated: 5/5 Apr 10, 2017 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film An emotionally intense, unforgettable viewing experience, filled with “coming-of-age” fun and spiritual longings. Rated: 5/5 Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Mat Brunet AniMat's Review (YouTube) As much as it is very well done, I don’t think it’s worth putting it up on such a high pedestal on par with the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Your Name is good, but for me, it's not worthy of breaking Spirited Away’s record good. Rated: 8/10 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 The power of connection is at its most moving in Your Name. Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Lauren L Hands down one of my favourite movies; realistic yet ethereal animation, great soundtrack, and a story that makes me cry every time. It somehow manages to nail romance, slice of life, and apocalypse all in one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review BertChelle D One of the best animated films, bar none. Killer OST, too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Habibul B I will never forget this movie!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review MANRAJ 2 Movie is Absolutely Good. I watched many romantic animes but this anime movie stole my heart. This movie is for those who loves romantic animated movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Brad M Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) is nothing short of breathtaking. This beautifully animated film masterfully blends romance, fantasy, and drama, crafting an emotional journey that lingers long after the credits roll. What begins as a lighthearted body-swap comedy soon unfolds into a deeply emotional and suspenseful tale of love, fate, and time itself. The film’s pacing is impeccable, keeping you invested while unraveling its intricate narrative in a way that feels both magical and heartbreakingly real. Visually, Your Name is a feast for the eyes. Every frame is beautifully crafted, from the stunning landscapes of the countryside to the vibrant energy of Tokyo. Shinkai’s signature use of light, color, and movement creates an atmosphere that feels almost ethereal. Complementing the visuals is the phenomenal soundtrack by RADWIMPS, which enhances every emotional beat of the film. Tracks like "Zenzenzense" and "Sparkle" perfectly capture the excitement, longing, and wonder that define Your Name. At its core, Your Name is a story about connection. How love can transcend time, distance, and even memory. It delivers an emotional gut punch that will leave you teary-eyed yet hopeful. Whether you're a fan of anime or not, this film is a must-watch and easily one of the greatest animated films ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Griffith J Some of the most beautiful animation ever made. The concepts are complex & intriguing but aren’t as clear or well executed as they could be. Yet there are some impactful & emotional moments emphasized by the sound, score, & visuals. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
