    This is the second Fritz Lang film I’ve had the honour of watching, and it did not disappoint.
    He was truly a master of the craft.

    Fantastic introduction to Yasujirō Ozu's work, both charming and funny, making for a fun, enjoyable watch. I'm excited to delve deeper into his filmography.

    Night Is Short, Walk On Girl

    ★★★★½

    I Haven’t enjoyed watching something this much in a while, film has been pretty boring recently and “Night is short, walk on girl” has really livened it up.

    The animation was clean and bubbly, and the plot was fun and entertaining, all characters were likeable and interesting, overall giving a great watching experience.

    Masaaki Yuasa’s works really are great. I really wish I could experience them for the first time over and over again. He’s the only person that could possibly make a pub crawl turned used book sale turned musical number peak. 

    Would definitely recommend!!!

    This was a really nice introduction into Hirokazu Kore-eda’s work, I didn’t know what to except when first going in but I was pleasantly surprised, I loved everyone of the characters introduced and their relationships with one another.

     As well as that the editing and cinematography was great allowing the film to flow really nicely.

    I don’t know whether to give this a 8 or 9 out of 10 so I’ll leave it as an 8 while I procrastinate.
