L'Enfant du mois de Kamiari

Love the world but kinda boring. It lacks something, maybe due to the main character that lack sparks. Kanna kinda annoying. Great first part of the film then it went down onwards. Great music scores and animation style. Not a fan of the voice casts. Love the ending that kanna didnt get to see her mom she wanted to be at first. Recomended.

Deathly boring. Deathly annoying, and should be removed from existence. The movie can be cut down to 10mins without the wasted filler scenes. The protagonist is an annoying little girl, who when cries you want to push down a well and put a lid on it. I imagine this is how the girl from the ring was created really. The story plot is predictable and every essence of it screams of boredom and irritation. I skipped through so many scenes just to get to the end, and it even had an annoying ending.

From the animation, to the music, to even the attention to Japanese culture is amazing. The English voice acting isn't the best, but the emotional character development more than makes up for it.

The main story of the movie was confusing. It danced around what seems to be the point of the movie - mourning, loss, & grief. Instead of getting into the details of the main character's grief and sense of loss, the movie makes her seem like an ungrateful spoiled brat. She was so irritating that my children were scolding her for her behavior!

What's more, the movie was littered with plot armor that made even my children lose respect for the story. Halfway through the film they were treating it like a Ghibli Spoof film and making jokes.

To summarize, I feel that this film's premise was solid but the execution left a great deal to be desired.

8/10 Solid. To the team who out this together - thank you! Great story. Heart-warming, original, beautiful in multiple ways, I highly recommend this! The mere idea of a story focussed on running while time stops is wonderful!
