Juste l'espace entre nous

This film is suitable for those of you who are looking to relieve stress with a sweet romance story.

The movie brings us an unlikely relationship between people from different worlds. It shows how love can be complicated, and dreams can only make it more difficult. However, it also shows how that connection is hard to find and impossible to give up on. It is a beautiful love story which shows careers are important too, but knowing someone out there loves you in a way nobody else could is what shines through. The animation is beautiful, the music complements every scene, and the emotional rollercoaster keeps you wanting to watch more.

I honestly thought this would be another corny streaming movie, but it's surprisingly wholesome, mature, and resonant. The film is about Nan-Young, an astronaut who wants to go to Mars to follow her mother's path, whom she had lost when she was young. She continues to deal with this trauma until she finds Jay, a guy who fixes retro gadgets. Their meeting each other and Nan-Young discovering that Jay was the one who sang her favorite song were a bit coincidental. Nevertheless, they were still enjoyable to watch. Speaking of retro gadgets, I really like how it is so plausible that in the future, people will stop using some gadgets we use nowadays, turning them into more expensive artifacts for collectors. Anyways, the film is about two souls trying to help each other with their troubled pasts, moving forward, and fulfilling their dreams with each other. I did wish the ending had more. I wanted a longer ending and epilogue of what happens after.

The characters are really well done. It's mostly just Nan-Young and Jay, but seeing them overcome their fears because of each other was pretty nice to watch despite the characters being just limited to them. I really enjoyed their talks and late-night walks about life. I felt it was superior to them speaking about Nan Young's astronaut life.

The animation is pretty well done. I thought this being a streaming movie may affect the animation, but it seems to be very well drawn. However, some CGI parts look rough and rushed. I honestly wished this got a theatrical release to increase the budget and the quality of the animation.

Beautifully drawn, wholesome, and emotional, Lost in Starlight is a good romantic sci-fi adventure that might just tug a cold heart. Not too cliché and corny, it offers a good enough perspective of how to love someone despite the distance, even if its premise is a bit too coincidental.

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.

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!!
