As irresistibly romantic as it is awe-inspiringly gorgeous, Weathering With You on the whole satisfies the craving for more of what “Your Name” ignited in viewers, yet with slightly less impact.
The wacky mythology is offset with gorgeous hyperreal visuals, as raindrops bounce off umbrellas and puddles. With more than a nod to real world climate change, Weathering With You clings to love in the face of rising oceans and environmental catastrophe.

An absolute must-see for anyone who loved 2016’s Your Name. Even if it isn’t as surprising and narratively powerful as that film, Weathering With You once again exemplifies Makoto Shinkai’s visionary prowess as an animator.
Though most foreign films are best seen subtitled, the nonstop overexcitement of these anime performances can be exhausting. I’d have welcomed the dulcet tones of Pace, who voices Mr. Suga.
It never quite rises to pedigree of Your Name, but it certainly asserts its place in Shinkai’s oeuvre as his most challenging film to date.
Contemporary outrage could’ve potentially counterpointed the film’s increasingly mawkish tendencies.
It’s fanciful enough, but Weathering with You is too scattered with dashes of dullness making for many dead spots. It’s not on a par with virtually anything the anime master Hiyao Miyazaki made, and falls well short of the heart of “Your name.”
Uno dei migliori film che abbia mai visto, sentimenti, fantasia è amore si sentono davvero, questo è uno dei pochi film mi ha fatto piangere… anche solo guardando il trailer
Report
Granted I am not the target audience for this sort of movie, it was like watching an episode of Friends, light, pretty and forgettable. I loved Garden of Words and so checked out Your Name which was beautiful but to me not magical like Garden of Words. Comparatively this was forgettable.
Report
The movie is beautiful to look at, but the protagonist is a 16 year old runaway boy who seemingly whines and screams his way through life. He is over emotional and needs Prozac. We never do find out why he ran away. The story is a complete fantasy, his girlfriend is able to create sunny days when it's raining, but that part didn't bother me. I also found the soundtrack very annoying at times, with a piano repeating the same refrain over and over. I love Anime, but this was not one of my favorites.
Report
If you watched 'Your Name', you probably want to see more similar movies, and you'll come to this one. Don't waste your time. This one is more drawn out; unnecessarily, and more contrived. You'll know what should happen next, but they draw the scene to extend runtime. Also, some of the characters suddenly "turn" temporarily antagonist, just to provide some barrier between the main character and his goal. It's very obviously done, and if you've seen something more masterfully done like 'Your Name', you'll have little stomach for anything less.
