🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative on a contrast: the naive comedic situations clash with the deep melancholy of parting. He works with familiar school genre tropes to gently explore the trauma of family breakdown and the fragility of adolescent emotions.

What lingers after viewing is a light yet poignant experience, where the fantasy element serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's inner world. A bittersweet aftertaste of nostalgia for what is irrevocably gone remains. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Nobuhiko Obayashi
