Tenki no Ko
Hodaka Morishima runs away from his island home to Tokyo at fifteen and lands the only job that will hire him without paperwork: writing trash copy for a basement-rented occult magazine. The city is in the middle of an endless rainy summer. He meets Hina Amano on his second week — a girl his age living alone with her younger brother, working part-time, hiding a small miracle she has discovered: when she prays, the rain over wherever she is standing stops. The film follows their attempt to build something like a life around that gift, and the price the city stops being willing to pay for it.
It is better then Your Name, but not as great as some people praise it to me, like a good solid B.
It's beautiful. But it could be so much better.
This one changed my mind about Shinkai.
Too similar to "Your Name" but still narratively engaging
Le Shinkai Nouveau Cru !
Turn your mind off, and you've got a ride!
Good at many things, but never great at anything.
It's a Shinkai movie. And that's not a good thing.
Striving for excellence but far from it, a disappointing film of wasted potential
i adore every good thing this film offers and loathe everything it does wrong.
