    This is a wonderful movie. It is sheer poetry on cellulide. The last scene brings tears in viewer's eyes.

    Its one of the best movies i ever saw..... In the first scene, When he touches his father's hand...there is a load of emotion unleashed...it was so good...and the scene where he saves a baby bird..the thought wouldn't have flashed even in a perfect human's eye...totally....AWESOME BLOSSOM!!

    A family film that shames the facile commercialism of a product like "Pokemon" and its value system based on power and greed.It is made with delicacy and beauty.
  2. While never slow, the film feels quiet and spacious, like a prayer.
  3. Leans a bit too much toward the lachrymose and has a wrong-note final image.
