I was so emotionally touched by the tragedies in this film that I was not ok. If you watch make sure you have plenty of tissues and water.
Breathtaking work of art and witness to the atrocities of war. It leaves you scarred - as it should.
Just a beautiful display of the impact of war
An absolute tearjerker. How war affects kid who doesn't have any concept of it. More relevant then ever.
Animated reality. Based on the final days of WWII in Japan---the survival of two children. Haunting, beautiful, so well done.
The movie is so tragic but beautiful at the same time. The best anti-war movie imo
What a complex film. An unromantic examination of the realities of war.
When you do watch this film, have it in mind that this is based on someone's own experience
A Timeless Masterpiece of Love, Loss, and Survival 10/10
Can’t rewatch, but shouldn’t be skipped. A movie about suffering and loss.
