Although the script was good and the values of the story were awesome ( friendship, loyalty, love, family) the story was very slow and had many gaps. You will only enjoy this if you don't try to make sense of it, because it doesn't make sense, it's too fantastic and unrealistic.

This film starts really slow, and to be honest the 2 main actors didn't act really naturally. I don't know why the actress got the "Rookie of the year" price in 2015 though. And all this group of friends didn't show their chemistry of friendship or something like that. Besides the others 4 supporting actors were really faint. ---------- But in the opposite, there're some great shots (it got edited a little bit too much though, still great) and some emotional scenes. With this plot, i think the director could do better. ---------- In the end, 6/10 points for me because i am a fan of coming of age films ( moreover i am fan of Erina Mano, that plays a huge part too :D ). Recommend for who has really much time and got deep into those coming of age films like me, and if you're not? Get some other great movies and skip this one! --------- Sorry for my bad English and this is my first review both in my mother tongue and in English.

Honestly, the movie had so many important and key parts missing. I've read the manga and even the anime has the same key parts compared to this live action movie. If you just want to watch a Japanese romance movie, don't care about the anime and actual story, then watch it. But the manga and anime was much better, more interesting with all the key events.

It's my first time writing a review here, it's currently 3 am and im crying my eyes out. I watched the anime series and anime movie before and i can say that the characters portrayed the role so well and the story didn't change at all which is great! I'm so glad i watched the live action even though it's painful. I liked Kento Yamazaki's acting here again and he looks really handsome! Also the one acting as Suwa, all of them are great! Pls watch this you would not regret it!!!

I watched this movie because of the main two characters, naho and kakeru (tao and kento) who are also together in the series 'alice in borderland.'

this movie has a very interesting concept, with the sweetest romance plot ever. The two main characters have such strong chemistry with eachother, as well as the whole friend group.

The end of the movie was definitely sad, to say the least.

Everything in this movie felt very book-accurate, which i always appreciate in movie/show adaptations. The only thing i didn't love was the way that takako's character was watered down on the movie.

Other than that, this is a really great movie filled with romance, angst, and drama-highly reccomended.
