Draw Closer (2024) is a deeply moving film that captures the grief of life in a way that feels painfully real and at the same time shows that love that can transcend pain and suffering.

The narrative is beautifully woven, revealing layers of connection and distance, hope and despair. Every scene is charged with emotion, drawing you closer to the characters until their pain becomes your own.

The story centers on love and loss, showing how these experiences shape us and sometimes break us. The characters' struggles with their emotions are portrayed so honestly that you can't help but feel their pain. This movie ruined me-it dives into the heartache of losing someone and the emptiness that follows, leaving you feeling heavy long after it ends.

Watched this movie on Netflix at 2am. I rarely cry at movies unless it's really good, and trust me this did not disappoint. I don't often watch foreign movies, but this one was so good. I was struggling to breathe near the end and my tears never stopped 😭😭. The acting was incredible, the music was good and the meaning behind the flowers was such a unique context to the story. It made me remember someone who I loved deeply but could no longer talk to as they moved on. So this story struck me in the heart so deeply, I haven't felt so affected from a movie in years. To anyone who questions watching this movie, please watch it won't disappoint.

P. S just learn this Ren Nagase is a Japanese idol in a group called King and prince. I was just streaming their music and it's so good. Cinderella girl song is so cute.

The use of a blue haze creates a dreamlike atmosphere that complements the film's themes. This visual choice, while divisive among viewers, adds depth to the narrative and enhances the emotional impact of scenes.

The film's structure focuses on moments rather than grand gestures. This approach allows the story to unfold, drawing the audience into the characters' experiences. The pacing gives viewers time to reflect on the themes presented.

While the film treads familiar ground in the genre of terminal romance, its restraint and focus on small, meaningful interactions elevate it. "Drawing Closer" reminds us of the profound impact we can have on each other's lives, regardless of time. I really like it.

From the beginning, you will know that there is no "hope". However, as you get deeper into the film, you want to hope for them.

Great Movie, as a romance fan of "dead" in the synopsis this movie satisfied me a lot. Before the 3 Gerberas reveal, i think the author do "too much" that this movie kinda feel like Your Lie in April and I want to eat your pancreas. I just don't like how this movie look like cheapskate of Your Lie in April(Anime), even tho this movie has potential but kinda wasted because they are "trying too much".

I really like the story telling, especially the 3 Gerberas scene, I love it really. Haruna, Miura, and Hayasaka really did well in this 3 Gerberas especially Miura the best character in this film.

Sinematography? Well its ok.

Acting? Good but not great.

This is the first time I'm giving a review. It's a must watch movie. Not cringey at all and full of sentimental values especially the meaning behind the Gerberas flowers. Honestly, did not expect it to be this good because I have watched something similar which is "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" but this movie is two times more emotional. You will know why when you watch it. This movie shows exactly how well the character development goes along the way. It may start of a bit slow at the beginning but towards half of the movie, it makes the audience feel touching between the two main characters. Even though they don't express much about their feelings towards each other. The relationship between them feels so natural and genuine through their actions and the way they treated each other so well. Please prepare tissue because I really mean it. What I learned from this movie is to always appreciate peoples around you and cherish each and every moment with your loved ones while you are still able to. There is also nostalgic plot at the end. Make sure to watch it!
