A Tale of Transcending limits and emotions.

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2017)

YOUR NAME proves to be much more than a generic coming-of-age love
story. Firstly, it's the clever use of two timelines, intertwined and
overlapped, to achieve a rendezvous for the two protagonists. Secondly,
the animation and music are so exquisitely used to accentuate the
general aesthetics of the film, that it keeps the viewers' gazes glued
to the screen.
The movie was recommended to me by a friend, and I hadn't expected to
be blown away the way I did. The film is a clever mix of core romance
and subtle comedy, with a tint of highly bizarre storytelling which
keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. I believe, above
everything else, the script and storytelling rocks it for Your Name.
The crucial importance of culture and heritage, the metaphorical use of
'twisted braids' as time, and the contrast between the Tokyo life and
Itomori life, are undebatable winners in this one.
I had said YOUR NAME is not a 'Generic coming-of-age love story'. No
its definitely not. Rather its a modern Love story unfolding with
transcending limits and emotions.
