This movie is very well directed, although the script lacks clarity in some areas. The actors did their job very well.

It shows the importance of having good and honest friends.

Overall, It is a beautiful, heartwarming movie.

I remember reading the manga and found the story quite touching and beautiful.

I think the movie suffers from the editing and pacing to the point that I don't want to recommend it at all. I remember actually pausing several times to see how much time was remaining until the end because I couldn't believe how it was dragging on. There's several moments where you feel a sense of relief "...Ah, everything will get better now!" and then a twist! things are just as bad as before, or worse! The manga was able to handle these better, but in a single movie, maybe have that happen once, not two, three times!

I also felt almost every actor was too wooden in their performances. Obviously the tone of the movie is very very serious, but having most scenes and characters conversing slowly, and seriously without emotion, usually just standing there (there's almost zero action) made it even harder to get into the story.

Due to these reasons, I found myself no longer caring for the characters to find a resolution, and to just hurry up and get to the ending already. I think sometimes, movies shouldn't try to cram in every plot point from the original source material. Condensing the story would have been more fluid and more impactful. This movie absolutely did not need to be almost 2 and a half hours long!

It's my first time writing a review here, it's currently 3 am and im crying my eyes out. I watched the anime series and anime movie before and i can say that the characters portrayed the role so well and the story didn't change at all which is great! I'm so glad i watched the live action even though it's painful. I liked Kento Yamazaki's acting here again and he looks really handsome! Also the one acting as Suwa, all of them are great! Pls watch this you would not regret it!!!

The story is kind of lame. The girl gets a letter from her future self with a list of things she regrets and she tries to do them differently. There is a lot you could do with that premise, but there could have been a little bit more creativity here. At its core it's a typical school romance, nothing you haven't seen before. Except for the main guy, the characters are a little bit uninteresting too because they lack depth and I didn't feel that much of a chemistry between him and the girl. The whole thing gets a little better in the second half though.

It's not bad and it does have its nice moments, but ultimately I would just call it "okay".

I watched this movie because of the main two characters, naho and kakeru (tao and kento) who are also together in the series 'alice in borderland.'

this movie has a very interesting concept, with the sweetest romance plot ever. The two main characters have such strong chemistry with eachother, as well as the whole friend group.

The end of the movie was definitely sad, to say the least.

Everything in this movie felt very book-accurate, which i always appreciate in movie/show adaptations. The only thing i didn't love was the way that takako's character was watered down on the movie.

Other than that, this is a really great movie filled with romance, angst, and drama-highly reccomended.
