jcross7997 - 17 May 2024 Just watch it Set aside any preconceived notions of what you thought or hoped it might be. Watch it for what it is. When you do that you will see that it was just a 'movie' that shouldn't have been made because it's BORING and really doesn't connect with the audience. This is not a representation of teenage girls. I never acted or reacted like this. Where's the movie that gets made to represent just normal teenagers. I could not identify with this one and most people I know never watched it again. A good movie is one that you will want to watch again, or occasionally. This is not it, this was about something more and it shows. They weren't invested in something that stands the test of time and generations. This was a one hit one note boring movie.
ahmedeldimllawi - 3 February 2024 brings me to tears every single time After watching this 5 times
The story gets better every 5 minutes
the animation is impeccable
and everything feels very real
I think the unique thing about this movie is how relatable this is, how hard we are on ourselves depicted mei and her mom and mom's mom overly unforgiving attitudes, and in the movie they find their forgiving selves . It becomes a very heartwarming moment when they finally forgive . Added with a dash of humor, saying this movie is perfect is honestly a bit shameful; it is transcendent.
And I learnt not to be perfect after watching this movie too.
How the director stresses human's humanness through animation is really mindblowing , which also shows how beautifully written this movie was . Genius!
