    Excruciating, my eyes were heavily watered throughout.

    A group of detached grey men fill the periphery, while a lone figure stands in the frame. She is focused, her face desperate, and her expression reflects a fervent distaste for the whisperings around her.

    The filmmakers portrayed grief and loneliness so conclusively that I cannot imagine an alternative to the work done for this film.

    The score was impeccable, the creeping eerieness to it all was so unsettling.

    Portman was a knockout, primo work.

    Utterly speechless, I have so many questions for the filmmakers.

    Not only does this film glorify student-teacher romances, but makes a statement by backtracking a lot of development of the story.

    The incomprehensive development of this film is just baffling, what was the working culture so that the crew members never question the source material? I thought public opinion was rather unanimous around underage relationships.

    It plays on two fronts, naivety with the plotline but by a seriously taboo subject…

    I loved the bit when boro went: " shimmmbkgktkksk shimmmbkgktkksk shhkmmmmmmm" and the others went " hmmmmmpfff hmfpppfppff"

    The child play sound effects create childish wonder to the whole film, but also making you closely watch the maticulous animation.

    I saw it exclusively at the Ghibli Museum Saturn Theatre, and it was a 10/10 experience; I would go again.
