More than a love story

This was a rollercoaster of a ride!

This film had a similar tone to Kimi No Na Wa minus the scifi element. The film's pacing started real fast but gradually became consistent and took its time building and developing the characters.

I loved the film for exploring each characters life journeys. It did not hesitate to show realistic obstacles of children and adults within society. The raw emotions and music played a huge role in bringing a strong, lasting impact on the story. I also appreciated when the film gives a clear backstory and glimpses between the characters.

The chemistry was clearly present between both Komatsu and Suda's performance. The supporting cast nailed their roles and left some strong, lasting moments.

I was surprised the casting director managed to find a child actress resembling Komatsu-san (or it could be make-up).

The story could be rather depressing due to it taking an authentic approach and long duration, which affected my rewatch value. Despite that, I still found the film to be quite inspiring and informative.

If you are interested in a film which explores the themes of self-discovery and gradual slow romantic build up, then I would recommend this film.

The movie was Explorative, but the plot seems displaced

The story concept was actually good, it raises issues of daily living (such as trust and betrayal, domestic violence) beside focusing on romance, and has potentially interesting characters (nail artists, cheese maker, widow)

But regretfully, the plot aren't so nice, too much screentime are wasted for unnecessary scenes, repetitions and flashbacks. On the contrary, scene's that are required to make the plot tie together are missing, hence the overall movie felt displaced and aren't flowing smoothly

The characters and chemistry between them doesn't seem to develop enough, the romance wasn't there. It seems like the movie only focus on the ending and not the process

Perhaps if the movie has more screen time (or was made into drama series), it could have been developed into a better work of art
