Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru

Tomorrow I'll date yesterday's you had a nice and interesting plot.

The couple had great chemistry, first and foremost. It is actually one of the few movies where I really liked Nana's character. She looked good with Fukushi's character and they helped the love story a lot.

The main plot is not confusing as well. Although it could have been, they presented it so perfectly that it was not even tiring to watch.

The ending, however, was not as good as a happy one.

So, overall, seven and a half out of ten.

I saw this film on holiday in Bangkok recently and it was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I didn't have too much trouble working out the 'twist', truth is the title is a spoiler anyway. But that didn't stop the enjoyment, in fact it made you think more about the situation the two lead characters were in and the consequences that would mean to them.

In fact my only regret is that this won't get seen by a wider audience, or perhaps worse still it will get remade into a version much worse than this one. For now all I can say is see it, it will make you realize how much more complicated life could be.

I cannot properly review this without discussing the plot... but discussing the plot would involve major spoilers. So the option left is to review the presentation... which is superb.

One cannot really dwell on the concept of the film because there are too many paradoxes to fit comfortably into a box. Focusing on such would be like picking apart a folk tale. Instead, we simply accept what happens and don't worry too much about the details.

If we focus on the far more important presentation of the story itself, this brings us to writing, directing, acting, imagination and presentation... all of which are superb. Parts are funny, parts are heartwarming, parts will very likely bring the viewer to tears. That's quite an accomplishment all in one film.

The actors do a terrific job of presenting the parts they portray, both in character and in stages of their relationship-- which in this story requires quite a bit of acting versatility. The sets are simple and common-place. There re no special effects, no apparent CGI, no action or chase scenes. The entire movie is carried simply by story and acting. It is both captivating and moving.

A unique vehicle appears in this film: a simultaneous climax and anticlimax. One will have to actually view the film to understand how this works-- and how well it's done in this vehicle. There aren't many films which have such opportunity, but when it works it works-- and in this film it works very well.

One of the best romances I've seen... which is saying quite a bit since it is totally off the wall. Not recommended for those who "over-think" plot lines. But if you have a sense of romance and appreciate a well-presented story, if you love a movie with heart, this is highly recommended. I would watch it again-- which is the best praise I can give any film.

As I started watching the movie I couldn't help but cringe at the plot, especially at the main male character and how the couple's relationship took off... until I caught myself crying in the middle of the movie and things started to make sense. Overall, it was a good movie with an interesting plot that's worth your time, go watch it.

Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru is a classical Japanese melodrama. And i don't say that in a bad way.

Much like the classic "Love Letter, directed by the brilliant Hirokazu Kore Edo, this movie wraps nostalgia, romance and drama by pulling the right strings of your heart.

It is a deliberate choice by the director to rise the music and focus on the actor faces, he wants you to cry and you probably will.

That's because Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru succeeds in spectacular fashion in building an adorable relationship between the main characters in the first act.

Even if a bit confusing - and requiring a huge suspension of disbelief - this film is a winner. If you like melodramas, movies that you know have the objective to touch you and make you cry, you can't go wrong with this one.

Absolutely beautiful romance/fantasy flick.
