It was a good movie. They took an amazing manga, took important scenes here and there, and made a movie. The story is good, nothing to say. The directing is intereting, and suits the atmosphere of the script, and the characters.
The casting is on point, and the actors are AMAZING. For a first role, Hirate Yurina is crazy good, but the other high-schoolers didn't lose anyway, so I was really surprised !
Kitamura Yugira (the TV-writer), Nomaguchi Tohru (the photographer), Yuya Yagira & Oguri Shun were really good.
Especially Kitamura, & Oguri. I was really enjoying their performences. Of course, Yagira is always perfect, but those two, their characters were especially interesting.
The only disapointing point is Kitagawa Keiko. I was really disapointed by her performance. I kow there's a few people that don't really like her acting, but I'm not one of those, so I was surprised, and really disapointed. She was bland, annoying, boring.
I know her character isn't the most interesting, so it's difficult. But it's a problem as an actor if you don't have half the screen presence of actors that appears for a few minutes in the movie when you're one of the main characters, or of actors that have less than a year of acting and you have 15 years of experience.
But let's be honest : they should have made a drama, not a movie. The story is rushed, a lot of important characters were just erased, and they changed the some of the relationships between the main characters .
That's comprehensible, because they didn't have time, but... disapointing anyway, and it wouldn't have happened if they had made a drama.
Finally, I'll just end with : if you liked this movie even a little, please read the manga, you won't be disapointed. Like a lot of people say in this movie "it's a masterpiece"

All in all, it’s a very good and enjoyable movie with interesting storyline without a boring minute. The only thing that annoyed me was only the lack of explanation or background about Hibiki’s character. She’s not a normal character at all, but we don’t get any explanation at all. Are we supposed to just accept that she’s a kind of tortured artist with a skewed personality or something? For one, I really was curious about her family. But that aside, you won’t regret watching this movie. The pacing and the plot was good
Now for the actors, this movie was really full of eye candies. Everyone here was beautiful and easy on the eye. The acting was superb. I love the young actors who played Hibiki and Rika, and also it was a nice surprise to see Itagaki Mizuki. I love seeing Kitagawa Keiko in a role where her pretty face isn’t mentioned at all. I don’t think Oguri Shun’s character blend perfectly here, but it’s like a nice little touch.
I didn’t really notice the music, they were more like background music, but they were good enough to build atmosphere needed.
Once again, it’ll be perfect if only they give us backstory of Hibiki’s, and I’m sure it would be an interesting one. But maybe it’s just me :)

I really love how they potrayed Hibiki, it is as if she came out right from the book itself, the cast are rightfully selected and they made pretty good job on their on roles. The only thing i can complain is that its end suddenly that you want to know what will comes ahead, oh better to have a second season. Albeit the shortness of the movie its you can still enjoy the full ride of how Hibiki show how baddass she is.
Its a pretty cool movie absolutely can recommend this one. And if you're not that into romance you can do try watching it.
The music, how can i say it, its absolutely in my playlist, i love the calmness of the voice and the intense emotion on the ending Ost. You can try to watch the mv here https://youtu.be/J3_IdDAr-dk, and the live version https://youtu.be/P8FWLiW7r8M. Absolutely a heartwarming and at the same time heart wrenching song that you can relate.
