Lost in Starlight

This film is suitable for those of you who are looking to relieve stress with a sweet romance story.

The movie brings us an unlikely relationship between people from different worlds. It shows how love can be complicated, and dreams can only make it more difficult. However, it also shows how that connection is hard to find and impossible to give up on. It is a beautiful love story which shows careers are important too, but knowing someone out there loves you in a way nobody else could is what shines through. The animation is beautiful, the music complements every scene, and the emotional rollercoaster keeps you wanting to watch more.

Some films entertain you, some impress you with visuals, and then there are those rare few that stay with you. They sit quietly in your heart long after the credits roll. This film belongs in that rare category. It's not just about love-though love is there, beautifully so-it's about something deeper. It's about the invisible threads that connect us. It's about unspoken moments, the kinds that don't need grand gestures or poetic words to feel meaningful.

From the very first scene, I found myself drawn into a world that felt both familiar and brand new. The way the story unfolded felt effortless, yet you could tell every detail was crafted with intention. The silence between lines said just as much as the dialogue, and the pauses? They were full of life. Of feeling. Of truth.

This film isn't loud or flashy. It doesn't shout its message-it whispers it gently, with sincerity and heart. It reminded me of the beauty of subtlety, of how the smallest glances and quietest words can carry the heaviest emotions. There were moments I forgot I was watching a film at all-I felt like I was simply feeling alongside the characters. Their joy became mine. Their pain... I carried it with me.

What touched me the most was how universally human the story felt.

A nice little story, all the usual themes, the backgrounds are lovely. The music is suitable and, well, it didn't grip me. There was nothing unusual about it.

One thing that particularly bothered me though, was how the characters faces were drawn. It was awful. They didn't look Korean, but ok, that's fine, you can be from anywhere and look like anything... just the drawing and proportions seemed off. When the characters were laughing, speaking, singing or what-have-you it just seemed very strange and off putting - big round dolly eyes, a roughed in, unfinished look and I can't explain it, just an oddness, as if they were aliens wearing skin suits.

Maybe a stylistic choice, but it annoyed me - so much so that I can faithfully promise that I'll never watch this again, nor anything drawn in this style.

I was left feeling fairly 'meh'.

Perhaps I've reached the age where existential nihilism is making itself known, but I just didn't really care much about this at all. The story wasn't out of the ordinary, but I can see how a lot of people will like it a lot. I didn't care for it, but it's beautifully made, so there's that.

This movie has incredibly beautiful animation and visuals! Each shot is breathtaking . Man, animation as a medium is just unmatched! You can tell the artists put in so much love here and the result is absolutely fantastic.

The two leads have such amazing chemistry and the premise is really interesting. Sure it can be a bit cliche at times but who cares? This is emotional storytelling at its best! I was not expecting to be so emotionally moved by the whole experience yet here we are.

I'm not usually into movies like this but......wow....this one hit different! It was definitely worth my time.

A beautifully animated story about straying from your chosen designated path and finding something unique.

A wonderful tale about loss and waiting for a loved one, moving forward and finding love amongst the light and dark. It highlights the struggles and strengths of a new relationship, but emphasises someone who will 'cheer you on, even among the stars'.

According to Netflix it's the first Korean Animated Movie to arrive onto it's platform, and it is exceptional, with a brilliant soundtrack.

It has similar vibes to other popular K-dramas and Japanese Animated Movies like: Your Name, Weathering with You.

If you like these movies, you'll love this!
