Lost in Starlight

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.

This movie was so worth falling behind in my assignment. I love the animation style SOSOSO much!! The animators did a FANTASTIC job for this movie. The plot was so perfect and nothing felt rushed. Top 5 animated movies oat, maybe even top 3. This is also no doubt the BEST movie this year!! I really wish netflix had promoted it more though because this deserves so much more popularity than it has rn. The last 20 minutes of the movie had me to flipping stressed and I did cry but the ending was totally worth it. May this type of love find me because this movie made me feel lonely as hell too but its still peak!!

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!

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.

Lost in Starlight is one of those rare animated films that manages to pull you into its world effortlessly. From the very first frame, it's clear that a great deal of care was put into the visual presentation. The animation is stunning-fluid, expressive, and rich with detail. There's a certain magic in how the visuals unfold, making even the simplest moments feel immersive.

What really stood out to me, though, were the characters. They're written with enough depth to make them feel real, even in a story that leans into the fantastical. I found myself genuinely invested in their journeys, rooting for them, worrying about them, and even getting a little emotional by the end. There's a sincerity to their interactions that makes the relationships compelling, and the voice work brings them to life in a way that never feels forced.

Another unexpected highlight was the music. I went in not knowing much about the soundtrack, but it quickly became one of the film's strongest elements. There were even a few tracks that lingered in my mind long after the credits rolled. It's rare for music to feel like such an active part of an animated film's identity, but here, it absolutely does. The pacing is smooth, never dragging but also never rushing past the quieter, more introspective beats.

Would I recommend Lost in Starlight? Absolutely. It's a visually gorgeous film with heart, strong characters, and a soundtrack that adds another layer of beauty to the experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of animation or just looking for something thoughtfully made, this one is worth your time.
