    Look Back

    ★★★★

    The fragility of the youth and childhood dreams, all clashing with harsh reality.

    Look Back is a reflection of how one grows to explore real life and its unfortunate circumstances beyond the protective bubble one creates as a child. Fujino, at the beginning, displays common naivety and pride found in any coddled talented child. However, it all breaks readily when faced with a sudden and formidable competitor, Kyomoto.

    Although soon, this rivalry turns into a beautiful friendship. The story from…

    The characters and plot building were brilliantly executed, the unravelling of events…

    ★★

    Movie had potential if it didn't succumb to corny and cringe Gen-Z narrative and gags. I have no issues with modern movies as long as it strays away as much as possible from trying to make it as '''Tiktok-ified''' or relatable to Gen-Z.
