7/10
Another touching story but left me wanting closure.
6 January 2013
Ghibli has definitely done it again with their newest film. Its a sweet tale about young lovers that slightly reminds me of Whisper of the Heart. Like others before it it succeeds at making you care for its characters and feeling that bittersweet nostalgia only a Ghibli film can evoke.

However, the abrupt ending left some unanswered questions. Don't get me wrong, I understand unanswered questions are usually left so because they can enhance the story (the ending of Inception being just one of hundreds of examples) but I believe that the viewers would have benefited from seeing more of the main characters' reactions at the end.
