A beautiful story that is so true-to-life and poignant...
The characters have the depth to give what might have been merely another daily life story that magical twist that has made Studio Ghibli so iconic.
With the honest depiction of the struggles teenagers encounter when facing "growing up" and the obvious thought put into every scene, the whole film moves the characters from nondescript children to young adults destined for something more. A coming-of-age that is anything but ordinary.
There's really no more to say for it. Simply outstanding.
