  Review by YI JIAN ★★★★★ 74

  It's the feeling of never wanting a dream to end, desperately trying to go back to sleep hoping that your dream would somehow pick up where it had left off.

  But you know very well that it won't. First you'll forget the details. What shirt you were wearing, the exact words you said or wanted to say. Her hand on your palm that felt so tangible just a few seconds ago, reduced to a cold sensation that served as nothing but a reminder of the warmth that was once there.

  Then the timeline becomes murky, sequences become knotted up -- like how mitsuha's grandmother had so wisely put it: Musubi dayo. Time is a knot. The location comes before the…

  This is one of the most original, frustrating, and fucking brilliant films I've ever seen. If this doesn't get a best animated film nomination I truly will give up on the academy. Please find and watch Your Name.

  Gonna be honest, really wish I liked this a bit more.

  It felt like 5 different types of movies were happening and as a result it came out messy. Like it was one build up of piano music after another that each lasted 5 minutes and got irritatingly repetitive after awhile. I was attached to it and it was undeniably very beautiful visually (specifically that scene at around the one hour mark), but I really just wasn't digging how they approached telling the story.

  SORRY

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I watched this a few years back and thought it was good, but now that I """"""""""""like"""""""""""" anime I figured I'd rewatch it. And yeah, it's phenomenal. Manages to blend a number of genres and concepts together while remaining cohesive throughout. I could nitpick some of the logistics at play here (how did neither of them notice what year it was for the other at any point) but at the end of the day, this is a fun, clever, beautiful film. Anime is good maybe?

  The last half an hour of this was the most stressed I've been since the SATs and I'm a sophomore in college.

  Collective trauma threaded by dreams and remnants, recognizable only when it loses all weight and dissipates into the unconscious. A one-of-a-kind stasis confronted by the realities of truth and the freedoms of love, constructed via questions of "who?" and "where?", all leading back to "you". Sneaks up on your tear-ducts and completely lifts the heart - a physical force of emotional responses.

  i wish i could tell you how much i love this, or why i love it, but it’s something smaller and more delicate than words. it’s a feeling of something in the distant past. this movie makes me feel the way the weather does sometimes, when it’s just stopped raining, or just about to start again, and half the sky is swallowed in gray, and the other half is cut with blue and glistening in wet light. like something is coming, or maybe already passing, and i’m part of it, and outside of it, and i want it, i want to name it, but it’s already gone.

  and isn’t it so amazing that someone, or a team of someones, made…

  best meteor-driven romance since FFVII.

  i can’t believe i’d never seen this before and wow i never thought a movie could capture the way things slip from you within a dream and without. how lovely, how sad!
