An incredible storyline, wonderful acting, filming etc...
The storyline is so emotional, even for me who does not speak Japanese, watching this still brings me to tears. Especially for someone like me who loves sad and romantic endings for movies/books, I would recommend to watch!
If you overthink the plot though, it does not make sense. It is explained clearly, but if you go overthink you'd say the whole thing has no scientific base.
The actors were in one word: magnificent! You could see Emi's mixture of emotions, but it is just not enough for you to guess the plot. Only in the last scenes where we saw everything from Emi's POV (point of view) we could understand her emotions precisely, those scenes were very touching!
If the plot would be more logical I think I would've given it a 9 or even a 10. But overall: great movie, definitely worth watching!
