A Masterpiece!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I cannot properly review this without discussing the plot... but discussing the plot would involve major spoilers. So the option left is to review the presentation... which is superb.One cannot really dwell on the concept of the film because there are too many paradoxes to fit comfortably into a box. Focusing on such would be like picking apart a folk tale. Instead, we simply accept what happens and don't worry too much about the details. If we focus on the far more important presentation of the story itself, this brings us to writing, directing, acting, imagination and presentation... all of which are superb. Parts are funny, parts are heartwarming, parts will very likely bring the viewer to tears. That's quite an accomplishment all in one film. The actors do a terrific job of presenting the parts they portray, both in character and in stages of their relationship-- which in this story requires quite a bit of acting versatility. The sets are simple and common-place. There re no special effects, no apparent CGI, no action or chase scenes. The entire movie is carried simply by story and acting. It is both captivating and moving.A unique vehicle appears in this film: a simultaneous climax and anticlimax. One will have to actually view the film to understand how this works-- and how well it's done in this vehicle. There aren't many films which have such opportunity, but when it works it works-- and in this film it works very well.One of the best romances I've seen... which is saying quite a bit since it is totally off the wall. Not recommended for those who "over-think" plot lines. But if you have a sense of romance and appreciate a well-presented story, if you love a movie with heart, this is highly recommended. I would watch it again-- which is the best praise I can give any film.

Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru is a classical Japanese melodrama. And i don't say that in a bad way.Much like the classic "Love Letter, directed by the brilliant Hirokazu Kore Edo, this movie wraps nostalgia, romance and drama by pulling the right strings of your heart.It is a deliberate choice by the director to rise the music and focus on the actor faces, he wants you to cry and you probably will.That's because Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru succeeds in spectacular fashion in building an adorable relationship between the main characters in the first act.Even if a bit confusing - and requiring a huge suspension of disbelief - this film is a winner. If you like melodramas, movies that you know have the objective to touch you and make you cry, you can't go wrong with this one.Absolutely beautiful romance/fantasy flick.

It's rare to find romance movies which makes you think at the end, and this one did it perfectly. Unlike the standard Hollywood romance movies where the guy always gets the girl etc, this movie makes you think more about how people treasure something knowing it's only temporary, and by the end make you think if it was you in that situation, would you just pass it by or embrace it knowing the pain that's about to come.Watching Emi's timeline I could feel my heart dropping as you know how hard it was on her, but at the same time she embraced the most precious moments of her life knowing how hard it would be after.Really makes you think at the end, would you take it with arms wide open or choose to ignore the most wonderful time of your life to avoid the pain that's about to come?

I think this movie didn't get much reputation that its deserve outside Asian; I would highly recommend you to give it a chance the story is well written and the logic of it is debatable. it might be hard to get at first but they have an interest transition to make you understand. the problem is that they might not be an English dub anytime soon due to its popularity. still give it a try.
