Look Back

9/10 WOW For such a short film it really tells so much. Loved how it was a movie about self discovery and the ending was very bittersweet and emotional. I noticed the references in the film to certain events regarding the creator or other real world events which was interesting. I loved the parallels with the door towards the end and the “what could’ve been” but I think it really hammered down on how the choices we make is what impacts our life and others lives and you cannot go back in time and change that, and that’s also the beauty of it. I really would’ve enjoyed it being a longer film but i know the purpose of it is that it is short and telling. Wish I could’ve seen this in theaters.

This movie captures the idea of growth through struggle really well. It’s something many people struggle with but through art the growth is so visual. The intersection she has at the end through the door, I feel, was her friend’s way of telling her to keep going. So she did.

Very beautiful story. Made me sad, but made me reflect. Tatsuki Fujimoto you sick son of a bitch.

Loved it. Can relate spiritually, this is the fight that creative people go though every day. Also whole animation is like a master class of technics and love for the craft.

This surprised me not what I expected from Fujimoto but it was really well made and moving it’s one of those where you have to think and apply what it means to your own life to really get it and I’m excited to read the manga

My lovely girlfriend also showed me this movie too. I enjoyed it a lot, very heart wrenching and sad. It was a very beautiful story that was amazingly told in every way.
