It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I am not an anime fan, but someone suggested me this one and I loved it. one of the perfectly made piece with a lot of emotions, and a happy ending.

Honestly, I have only seen this film twice in my life. I first watched it in 2012 and then later this year. The plot holds up very well over time as it does not rely on animation trick, gimmicks, or tries to do anything more than what I perceive it should.It's about a girl who was going to die because she was being negligent in her life, and through circumstances learns that she can jump through time.What I really liked about this film is that even though the person had super powers, it was more of a curse as life as more of an ebb and flow to it. So taking what seems as a good opportunity might take away something that could have been even better.The animation on the piece was really good for the time; there are clearly sections where dialogue was more important than the animation so they did cut back in quality during those times. But it does not get in the way at all and there are some scenes that are ageless.This is a very heart-full movie and not to be cliché, but I am a man that typically does not cry and this movie has managed to get me to cry both times I watched it, as it is a really well scripted movie.

The film premise is excellent, a young teenager able to go back in time and fix what is wrong. I mean, what is the worst that can happen? Well some of the worst does.The actress portraying Makoto does a great job with her role and the film does a good job itself showing a high-school kid's life. However, things become magical when she realizes the power of time travel and tries to fix the wrong in her life. However, she fixes what possibly should have not been fixed and puts a strain on both her and her friends.It gets a little too complex for it's own good, especially around 3/4ths of the way thorough the film. Sub-plots should have been explained a bit longer and the pace should have probably been slowed down just a little bit. The audience almost expected for something to go wrong and that is potentially a bad thing here as it feels like it weighs down the plot and makes the revelations either arbitrary or more of a Deus ex machina.7.4

This film is awesome it has so good visual effect and the animation. it has also have pretty sweet story and the acting of character is also so good. it is the story of a middle life girl how she face problem and how she react it is just amazing. the girl cry, smile, anger and sadness everything is show in film you just have to pay attention to the detail and also have some fantasy element like like time traveling which make the film awesome and also everyone dream of it but it truly tell if we have this power we cannot make a great change in our time and it has also some price so i recommend you to watch this film is good. 1000 time better than American stupid film and show a true nature of girl and this film also won the 2007 Japaneses academy award for best animation
