To keep the repetition among reviews brief: most creative movie I have ever seen, crafted well from overarching storyline and philosophical messages down to tiny details, very compelling character development, flawless acting, visual feast, fast-paced and complex but never overwhelming, utterly hilarious, applied humour ranges from flat-out college humour to subtle situational comedy - very brave, bold, heartfelt, relieving and intelligent.

The movies effect of flipping the viewer between laughing, crying, thinking and awe continued for me after I left the cinema: Sat in contemplation at first, then cried - and went on to have the happiest night of this entire year. This movie can change your life and your decisions.

To add something new: Why is noone mentioning the incredible job that the costume designer had done here?

From the beginning I couldn't help but feel the entire movie is a kind of a try to be like The devil wears prada: Overexited, naive young woman with bangs - (what's with the bangs all the time?) - works her ass off for her job, has to convince everyone of her value and capacity etc - her cuteness and professionality saves the day against all odds. To make it brief: I found the movie very uninspiring, stale and predictable, the performance of the actress flat (as all other characters) and she literally does not do much more than hastily picking up stacks of papers 90% of the movie. Diane Keaton is charming, Harrison Ford looks like he himself can hardly believe what he is doing in there. I don't like to give harsh critique but if I want to be honest on this one, it gotta turn out ... well, harsh. So yes, it is cute but also annoying in its repetitiveness of scenes, speeches and storyline.

PS: Don't even get me started on that stale romance element - god forbid, they'd have added some spice to the movie by including a (realistically) acting boyfriend, taken aback and making her work for getting him back after pushing him away repeatedly. I don't get what message this movie is supposed to pass on to viewers - especially, young women...

I found it cause I have been following the artist loundraw for I can't remember how many years and wanted to know what he'd be doing now. Having loved his artworks, I was pleasantly surprised to see his work in a movie - but also had quite some expectations.

Considering the ones complaining about the drawing style I'd recommend the interested viewer to do a quick google search on loundraw to get a glimpse of how his visuals work in delivering an emotional message - if you do that it helps greatly in getting a feel for how to understand this plot, the seemingly simple character designs while carving out the genuine uniqueness in the story, the interactions, the empathy. All turns and actions were very believable and reasonable in a way and the movie takes the attentive viewer on a touching journey that might subtly teach you a life lesson.

For all the comparisons to Your name, I'd like to add, that this one is only superficially alike, maybe in terms of depth, but I personally, did not enjoy Your name half as much due to it's over the top intricate storyline, colour explosions and cheesyness. I want to eat you pancreas is romantic yet humble/plausible. If anything, I'd rather compare it to the short "Garden of Words" (despite it's very different visual approach).
