It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie is a great conclusion to the show That scene near the end when they invited hunderds of idols... Fantastic! Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari near the end was so good... It's my favorite song of the whole franshise ^_^

What got me into the movie:When I first heard that this series was going to have a movie,I was very amazed it was going to become a reality. I had to see it,and that I did.When I bought the movie:When I ordered the movie online,it was very inspirational. It was a good movie,and enjoyable. It was different since the show,and it had the same characters from before.Things that I liked:Favorite characters that I like are: Honoka,Kotori,and Maki,plus the group A-RISE. I do like the outfits that the girls wore in their songs.They were very pretty,and stylish. And the music was pretty good as well.Meaning of the movie:What this movie also tells us is taking a different path can be pretty hard. We all must face a different turning point in our lives,and decide what we are going to do once it's over. But no matter what we do,we must never forget all the good times we've had.But after all,this movie is the best for all Love Live Fans. So in closing,after you see the show,watch this movie,and then see Love Live:Sunshine.

"Love Live! The School Idol Movie" is a continuation of the animation series "Love Live!: School Idol Project", which is about the school idol "μ's" making the decision of disbanding or not because some members of them are going to graduate. If you do not know μ's, this may be a boring movie to you; however, if you are a fan of μ's just like me, the movie must touch you. Honoka, Kotori, Umi, Maki, Rin, Hanayo, Nico, Nozomi, Eli, these nine girls give us many good times, maybe the full five years, or just a few months. After this movie, we might not be able to watch them on the screen and listen to their sound of singing with a new song, but all of their songs will keep in the world (a magnificent characteristic of a song), and nine "kawai" figures, nine beautiful sounds will also stay in our hearts. μ'sic forever!!!!
