positive · AI labelView post →I just got out of seeing The Colors Within. I thought this was another terrific film from the director of A Silent Voice. This film is strikingly animated, filled with great music, and a fantastic tale about teenage insecurity and embracing yourself. I really adored this film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Today, I watched 2 movies: A Silent Voice, an anime film about regret and guilt. I really liked it! Wish it made me cry tho. Had nice cast, beautiful animation, and a wicked heartwarming plot! 8/10 Next, I rewatched David Lynch's The Elephant Man. Did cry. 10/10. Absolute cinema! Good film day~
positive · AI labelView post →324) A Silent Voice 8/10 This movie so sad.
positive · AI labelView post →That anime movie, A Silent Voice... It's good! But I feel that it works mainly BECAUSE it's a coming of age film. The 4-5 year difference between the bullying & redemption is more believable than if it was a decade or more. Yet... I think I'd prefer if it took place a decade or more hence

positive · AI labelView post →One of my all time favorite movies is A Silent Voice. I'm not a big reader but I dabble on occasion. I've been meaning to read the manga but never did until now. Today I finished the final volume and yeah, I'm so glad I read it. If you've seen the movie, there's a decent amount that was cut.
