Just "Wow"

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2017)

In keeping with the very best of a glorious story-telling tradition from great Japanese animators, this will be one of the finest fairy tales available to watch for years to come. Novel, compelling, beautifully constructed and achingly sweet, this is a gorgeous blend of young love, loss, destiny and a fate that twists to the end. A joy to watch.
