I just don't get it. Disappointed.

Rating: 6/10 (3 May 2018)

I think this is the first time I've watched a movie from the IMDB top 250 and I just don't get how anybody could rate it so high. It's a cute movie and it was interesting to think that it was made so long ago a look a little bit at how they depicted Japan in 1988, but I don't find that it was a memorable film at all. It moves along so slowly and doesn't really have any climax at all. I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. I certainly wouldn't recommend this film to anybody. It is not interesting for me as an adult and I have a hard time believe that it would be captivating to modern children.
