The Garden of Words

UNCOMFY. Had been looking forward to checking out another Shinkai film, but all my interest was quickly extinguished when the plot became clear.

There is probably good art, or music, or whatever else in this. But I just don't really care because I couldn't get past the premise.

Even though the age gap is wild, this movie isn’t a romance in the typical sense. It is very hard to look past the age difference, but I think the point of the movie is in spite of it. I’ll say this now and always but Makoto Shinkai will always be my favorite animation director

7/10 I honestly don’t know why I’m not rating this lower as the story is just not sad or interesting at all especially because it’s between like a kid and a teacher and they make it so deep and philosophical when it’s just not that. Animation is beautiful though. Way overhyped.

if you hate feet and age gaps just leave it

Touchant mais je trouve la fin décevante

Like the animation and music. Didn’t care for the plot
