    A Silent Voice: The Movie

    ★★★★½

    Koe no Katachi taps into the "what next?" part of any coming of age story. It narrates the difficulty one may face when trying to change as a person, and the challenges of trying to reconcile loose ends of a past self you'd like to forget. It's a story of self-love and compassion.

    It's a gripping cautionary tale of how redemption and truth can so easily be soured by revenge. It was a great movie, but it was also quite hard to ignore the sexist undertones manifested in how men dictate the actions of the women in the story.

    Firstly, I really appreciate this film as Rian Johnson's redemption arc of sorts following the massive backlash from The Last Jedi.

    Now, for the things I liked:
    -The characters were great, a lot of then were very likeable while others, not so much, but the motivation for all were clear.
    -The whodunnit genre relies on a gripping does of exposition now and then, and the film expertly weaves in and out of the same scenario while also contributing enough information…
