Beautiful and Heartwarming

This movie is very well directed, although the script lacks clarity in some areas. The actors did their job very well.It shows the importance of having good and honest friends.Overall, It is a beautiful, heartwarming movie.

Fairly mediocre

The story is kind of lame. The girl gets a letter from her future self with a list of things she regrets and she tries to do them differently. There is a lot you could do with that premise, but there could have been a little bit more creativity here. At its core it's a typical school romance, nothing you haven't seen before. Except for the main guy, the characters are a little bit uninteresting too because they lack depth and I didn't feel that much of a chemistry between him and the girl. The whole thing gets a little better in the second half though.It's not bad and it does have its nice moments, but ultimately I would just call it "okay".

Some decent shots and that's all!!!

This film starts really slow, and to be honest the 2 main actors didn't act really naturally. I don't know why the actress got the "Rookie of the year" price in 2015 though. And all this group of friends didn't show their chemistry of friendship or something like that. Besides the others 4 supporting actors were really faint. ---------- But in the opposite, there're some great shots (it got edited a little bit too much though, still great) and some emotional scenes. With this plot, i think the director could do better. ---------- In the end, 6/10 points for me because i am a fan of coming of age films ( moreover i am fan of Erina Mano, that plays a huge part too :D ). Recommend for who has really much time and got deep into those coming of age films like me, and if you're not? Get some other great movies and skip this one! --------- Sorry for my bad English and this is my first review both in my mother tongue and in English.
