Let Me Eat Your Pancreas

This film tells the story of a young man in high school, be who accidentally discovers that his classmate has a terminal disease. They share this secret, and becomes best of friends.

The title means "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas", and it sounds very alarming and horrifying. I thought it was a horror film, but the poster is too sweet and adorable for it to be a horror film.

The story is a very touching story of a young woman who courageously live her final days with her new best friend. Her positivity and selfless attitude brings joy to her best friends. I find the story effective and touching. I like it a lot.

I've seen this movie in an advance screening in Hong Kong. All I can say is that it's a very very touching movie. The story and music are very well done. The music composer is the one who composed for 2004's classic Japanese romance movie "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" (aka "Be with You"). Highly recommended. 10/10

Another good coming-of-age film from Japan. It feels very reminiscent of other Japanese youth films such as Love Letter (1995), Futari (1991), and Forget Me Not (2015) (these are the only ones I've seen so far.).

It has a strong sense of nostalgia like the films I've mentioned. Loveable performances from the two leads especially Minami Hamabe.

Highly recommended. 10/10

This is a touching movie - plot are well set and music are great. It make you think, what the life is? What your life is?

It would be GREAT if you have some good friend like Sakura, or i myself be "Sakaura" for others. I read the novel as well after this movie - just to ensure the translation does not go wrong :)

I want to eat your pancreas puts you off with the odd title. However, it is a beautiful story. The acting was very good. I also enjoyed how the story was presented. But the hilight was the characters. Both of them were so different and yet so right for each other (not in a romantic way, but a human way). The girl was possitive, bubbly, and simply adorable. The boy was quiet, unsociable, and kind of a calm force. Also, the cinematography was beautiful, with the cherry blossoms (sakura) and the school background. It served the innocence of the movie well. However, the story, in the final conclusion, kind of lacked the intensity that would have brought the whole tragedy to a climax. So, eight out of ten, because, the pace was also slow.
