I cannot properly review this without discussing the plot... but discussing the plot would involve major spoilers. So the option left is to review the presentation... which is superb.
One cannot really dwell on the concept of the film because there are too many paradoxes to fit comfortably into a box. Focusing on such would be like picking apart a folk tale. Instead, we simply accept what happens and don't worry too much about the details.
If we focus on the far more important presentation of the story itself, this brings us to writing, directing, acting, imagination and presentation... all of which are superb. Parts are funny, parts are heartwarming, parts will very likely bring the viewer to tears. That's quite an accomplishment all in one film.
The actors do a terrific job of presenting the parts they portray, both in character and in stages of their relationship-- which in this story requires quite a bit of acting versatility. The sets are simple and common-place. There re no special effects, no apparent CGI, no action or chase scenes. The entire movie is carried simply by story and acting. It is both captivating and moving.
A unique vehicle appears in this film: a simultaneous climax and anticlimax. One will have to actually view the film to understand how this works-- and how well it's done in this vehicle. There aren't many films which have such opportunity, but when it works it works-- and in this film it works very well.
One of the best romances I've seen... which is saying quite a bit since it is totally off the wall. Not recommended for those who "over-think" plot lines. But if you have a sense of romance and appreciate a well-presented story, if you love a movie with heart, this is highly recommended. I would watch it again-- which is the best praise I can give any film.

Im not a big fan of japanese movies. i usually dont watch it. but i happened to see this, and this was so great movie.
at first, it seems quite strange to see the girl's reaction to him.
and then, we can take it in with the later scene and story line.
the more the story line flows, the more it is touching.
i actually didnt like the ending but especially the story line was excellently great.
you might feel it is one of the run of the mill japanese movie bcuz they have plenty of time traveling movies but its pretty prominent among those
Watching the first part of the film had me wondering if I was watching a romantic movie made for 10 year olds (which is not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting). It was too airy, too cheesy, youthful, and innocent.
The second part came in, and it all made sense. The film did a great job making the premise easy to understand.

I saw this film on holiday in Bangkok recently and it was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I didn't have too much trouble working out the 'twist', truth is the title is a spoiler anyway. But that didn't stop the enjoyment, in fact it made you think more about the situation the two lead characters were in and the consequences that would mean to them.
In fact my only regret is that this won't get seen by a wider audience, or perhaps worse still it will get remade into a version much worse than this one. For now all I can say is see it, it will make you realize how much more complicated life could be.

Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru is a classical Japanese melodrama. And i don't say that in a bad way.
Much like the classic "Love Letter, directed by the brilliant Hirokazu Kore Edo, this movie wraps nostalgia, romance and drama by pulling the right strings of your heart.
It is a deliberate choice by the director to rise the music and focus on the actor faces, he wants you to cry and you probably will.
That's because Boku wa asu, kinou no kimi to dêto suru succeeds in spectacular fashion in building an adorable relationship between the main characters in the first act.
Even if a bit confusing - and requiring a huge suspension of disbelief - this film is a winner. If you like melodramas, movies that you know have the objective to touch you and make you cry, you can't go wrong with this one.
Absolutely beautiful romance/fantasy flick.

This is not an ordinary romance movie. Without spoiling too much, it has a supernatural element to it, something to do with time and the future. The problem is, it just doesn't make sense. From an emotional point of view, it's a nice roller coaster ride so I get why so many people love it. But if you lean towards thinking with the rational side of your brain, it's kind of frustrating.

I think this movie didn't get much reputation that its deserve outside Asian; I would highly recommend you to give it a chance the story is well written and the logic of it is debatable. it might be hard to get at first but they have an interest transition to make you understand. the problem is that they might not be an English dub anytime soon due to its popularity. still give it a try.

Tomorrow I'll date yesterday's you had a nice and interesting plot.
The couple had great chemistry, first and foremost. It is actually one of the few movies where I really liked Nana's character. She looked good with Fukushi's character and they helped the love story a lot.
The main plot is not confusing as well. Although it could have been, they presented it so perfectly that it was not even tiring to watch.
The ending, however, was not as good as a happy one.
So, overall, seven and a half out of ten.

As I started watching the movie I couldn't help but cringe at the plot, especially at the main male character and how the couple's relationship took off... until I caught myself crying in the middle of the movie and things started to make sense. Overall, it was a good movie with an interesting plot that's worth your time, go watch it.

It is a great movie, I've just finished watching it, and it is already one of my favorite movies, and it will be in my special list.
This movie has everything for a drama movie. Great cast, touching story and a plot twist that you wouldn't want to understand till the end. You just want our protagonists to be happy in the end, cause I know I do.
Sota Fukushi and Nana Komatsu delivers their great performance here and we should enjoy their love story.... until the last train departed.

This is a love story between a man and a woman. The love begins with a man's love at first sight. But when he talks to her, she cries for some reason. And the two of them are going on a date, and they meet several times and go out with each other. They do a lot of things and spend happy days. But she has a secret. She has the opposite of the flow of time. He is surprised and sad when he finds out about it. What will they choose to do? And what kind of ending is waiting for you?
I saw this movie three times. I like this movie very much. It's the first time I've seen a love story related to the flow of time,I was excited because I couldn't predict how the story would unfold.
It's a wonderful love story and definitely worth watching.

So far there are only two romance movies that break me. The first is A moment to remember (2004), both movie have a great actor/actress, great plot, amazing soundtrack and lastly both offer us the sense of helplessness. This is a must watch. Trust me.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised! Get ready for a tearjerker though! From start to finish, this love story of star-crossed lovers keeps tagging at your heart-strings. Very well written and directed. Also, the two leads' chemistry was amazing! I usually don't recommend romance, but this one is a must-see. ("Tomorrow I Will Date With Yesterday's You", Boku wa Asu, Kino no Kimi to Deto Suru) Those who cannot watch fantasy or sci-fi without questioning every single situation that seems implausible may not enjoy this movie, but just like any fantasy/sci-fi, just shelf your suspension of disbelief for 2 hours and just enjoy this flick for what it is, a love story of two star-crossed lovers..
