Not my style

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2019)

Grave of the Fireflies is a good film. I will say that first. It is a pretty film and incredibly moving. The relationship between a brother and sister during WWII Japan is not only the main focus, but done incredibly well. The concept is very interesting to an American and provides a great perspective on the events of WWII. It has good pacing and each step along the way moves the plot forward. The biggest issue for me however would be that the movie could not hold onto my attention for much of the middle of the film.
