So, Kimi no Na wa(.), a hyped movie indeed. I watched it at the Stockholm Film Festival on November 20th, so I really got to experience the fantastic art that this movie has, and the art is probably what this movie succeeds the most in. Seriously, the sceneries, the characters, everything looks amazing.
The sound is amazing, there's a lot of song and light acoustic guitars, which I felt was really fitting. The voice actors did a great job to make the characters sound natural, nothing to complain about there.
The story is absolutely fantastic too, but a lot of things make no sense. That didn't bother me much, but it may really bother some people. The thing about this story is that it's heavily centered around the two main characters, which means that it's all about how good those characters are. Our protagonists Mitsuha and Taki are very well written, but I felt like the movie went on with its plot way too quickly before I grew attached to them, and that's the huge flaw this movie has. I could have enjoyed the amazing story this movie has so much more if I got to know Mitsuha and Taki more than I did. And I'm somewhat sad about that.
If you're someone who can easily get attached to fictional characters, you will enjoy this movie more than I did. But if you're someone who doesn't get attached as easy, you might not enjoy it as much. I will still recommend Kimi no Na wa(.) because of its great art, its great sound, and its interesting story.
