Draw Closer (2024) is a deeply moving film that captures the grief of life in a way that feels painfully real and at the same time shows that love that can transcend pain and suffering.
The narrative is beautifully woven, revealing layers of connection and distance, hope and despair. Every scene is charged with emotion, drawing you closer to the characters until their pain becomes your own. The cinematography is equally mesmerizing, capturing the subtle nuances of the story with a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic.
The story centers on love and loss, showing how these experiences shape us and sometimes break us. The characters' struggles with their emotions are portrayed so honestly that you can't help but feel their pain. This movie ruined me-it dives into the heartache of losing someone and the emptiness that follows, leaving you feeling heavy long after it ends.

The use of a blue haze creates a dreamlike atmosphere that complements the film's themes. This visual choice, while divisive among viewers, adds depth to the narrative and enhances the emotional impact of scenes.
The film's structure focuses on moments rather than grand gestures. This approach allows the story to unfold, drawing the audience into the characters' experiences. The pacing gives viewers time to reflect on the themes presented.
While the film treads familiar ground in the genre of terminal romance, its restraint and focus on small, meaningful interactions elevate it. "Drawing Closer" reminds us of the profound impact we can have on each other's lives, regardless of time. I really like it.

Watched this movie on Netflix at 2am. I rarely cry at movies unless it's really good, and trust me this did not disappoint. I don't often watch foreign movies, but this one was so good. I was struggling to breathe near the end and my tears never stopped 😭😭. The acting was incredible, the music was good and the meaning behind the flowers was such a unique context to the story. It made me remember someone who I loved deeply but could no longer talk to as they moved on. So this story struck me in the heart so deeply, I haven't felt so affected from a movie in years. To anyone who questions watching this movie, please watch it won't disappoint.
P. S just learn this Ren Nagase is a Japanese idol in a group called King and prince. I was just streaming their music and it's so good. Cinderella girl song is so cute.

Watching this movie made me realize on how our actions can affect others heavily. Although the acts we do may seem small, it may not be for others. The movie really helped me understand the feelings of others and how life has it's twist and turns. I broke down watching because of how relatable it was, I cried a bunch of times in multiple scenes. Watching the characters bond with each other as their relationship between one another improves. You understand about people's feelings and their perspectives. The similar beliefs and thoughts shared. I love this drama, it really hurts me differently. I just love how it makes you re-think about your actions and the affect it may have on others. This may help all of us viewers to change our way of life style and be more open to to others.
