Drawing Closer

Man, I generally don't write reviews for any of the films. But this... this movie deserves it. This film feels similar to the anime "I want to eat your pancreas" and I even cried watching that back then and I cried a lot more after watching this film. The chemistry between Hayasaka and Haruna was so sweet and the way they conveyed their feelings in the end, it was a lot to make a grown man cry :') The ending was also nicely done. The direction and narration of the film is excellent. The acting done by the actors is also so perfect like they really got into their characters and performed very well.

Perfect film in my opinion 100/10.

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.

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 cinematography is equally mesmerizing, capturing the subtle nuances of the story with a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic.

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.

I watched it long ago so i forgot most of it, but I remember some scene. I am not satisfied with the scene where akito die, because ayaka is paint on his nail, and bro was on his death bed. There was a pipe on his face so he don't die, and ayaka thought that THIS moment is perfect for my nail painting session. So when I'm trying to cry, ayaka is painting his nails as if he is not human but a mannequin hand and personally haruna is not that good at acting and I feel like the end scene where akito is reading haruna's post to him, they drag too long. I'm happy to show to my review. And now I'm am writing because I am very critical thinker, others say so. I am very proud, so go and watch sakamoto days.

A beautifully crafted movie with a story with messages which would turn viewer into some what a better person.

Thank you all the crew involved for making such a great piece of art!!💖
