more like a sunset kind of orange
bad reviews rare, I love giving 4 stars
had to rewatch with the girls after the crash out of the century and losing touch with reality
heavy & thick with the metaphor of loss and learning to accept loss; as he is only just been exposed to grief and does not know how to cope with it, his sincerity makes his loss evident & he reeks of death, but by the end he is able to accept the fact of forgetting and moving on
think I would give this a higher rating on another watch as I feel for most studio ghibli movies it requires a second watch and this definitely does
but for now 3 and a half
simultaneously heartwarming & heart wrenching
inclusion of British accents and culture always remove a degree of separation that exist between me and American splice of life movies
personal favourite of the year
