Students and best friends Mizore Yoroizuka and Nozomi Kasaki prepare to play a complex musical duet, Liz and the Blue Bird, for oboe and flute. Though they play beautifully together and have been friends since childhood, Mizore and Nozomi find that with graduation looming and the duet proving difficult, their friendship begins to buckle under the pressure. Interspersed with their story is the fantasy tale of Liz, drawn like a storybook, contrasting with the crisp realism of the school.

Kyoani pulling out all the stops to craft a beautiful, deep, and emotional movie. A study in human relationships…
While Liz and The Blue bird is a beautifully crafted movie, it's held back by its lackluster conclusion.
At first feeling like a victim, after some time taking the responsibility and setting the other person free

Unfortunately disappointing
a work of solid but unsubtle introspection
