A bit slow, but found it emotionally rich when it comes to dwelling into the parent-child relationship. Great to see the different Chinese languages used based on the actual countries. IMHO, Sammi Cheng and Kenny Bee gave deeply affecting performances; the rest of the cast were good too.
Generally was ok. I recalled feeling more satisfaction after watching Your Name. Pacing for first half was kind of slow. Didn't quite buy the ending based on what was set up. Logic goes out the window. This is more of a feeling type of film. Enjoyed seeing and hearing how the city of Tokyo came to life in this animation.
I found the film's pacing a bit too loose for my personal taste. Didn't really take to the performance of the female lead too. What also distanced me is the "first film from a new filmmaker feel" when I watched - except I noticed the director's narrative flaws more than the strengths. Anthony Wong gives a strong performance, but it wasn't enough for me to overlook the bits I didn't take to.
