A story of a group of university students. Makoto is a quiet and awkward guy who loves photography. Shizuru is a weird and childish girl who often lies. They trespass into a forest to take photos. This movie has great quirky characters and a beautiful soundtrack. Bring tissues, I’m sure this sentimental flick will make you cry!
This is a really nice movie. It’s not slow paced, but it is not action packed either. The characters, I believe, are what make this movie work. I particularly like the fact that Shizuru is ambiguous, you can’t tell if she is lying or telling the truth, and poor Makoto is as gullible as they get.
However, It is hard to review this movie critically without giving away important plot developments. Thus, I’m putting a lot of my review under spoiler tags:
Some of the English in this was hilarious! In particular when Makoto goes to a gallery and an English speaker just says “Hi! Please”. At least they didn’t subtitle.
I really have to commend Tamaki Hiroshi, he is really great at being socially awkward. I love everything Miyazaki Aoi does as well as Koide Keisuke even if he does look like he spent too much time with a bottle of fake tan.
Really liked the characters
There was just something about the ending…
Over all it was a nice film.

a tear jerking flick? who knows I might find it interesting, will check this out soon
I liked it more for the characters than anything else.
Thanks for the review, it looks interesting. I might have time to watch this later this weekend
Let us know what you think of it!
I just finished watching. Its one of the saddest film I’ve watched, Miyazaki Aoi’s performance was superb.
I’m glad you enjoyed it
I liked this movie alot! Didn’t expect much from it because I’m a fan of neither artiste, but was just looking for something to watch. I liked the photos they took and the scenery though. I love photography so the thing that stuck to my head was the pictures at her photo exhibition, especially the one self-shoot she took. It seemed like she was beckoning, waiting for Makoto to go to her. The kiss scene one was good too, and I was just sad that they were so close to being together; if he had only realised his feelings a few hours earlier! The ending surprised me a lot, and like you, I found that illness a little…odd……I’ve had enough of strange illnesses already! No, I had enough of any sort of illnesses. (Think Koisora, 1LOT etc etc…and not to mention kdramas!)
Great movie. I enjoyed it very much! I think Aoi is not only cute but also a very talented actress. I’ll be watching her other movies and TV dramas.
I love it. It was a great movie. I wanted to see it at first because of Tamaki Hiroshi and I kinda knew how it is going to end. However, I still can’t help but cry at the end.
