Your Name is a film that captivates its audience from beginning to end with its superb and incredibly unique storyline. The body swap genre is one that has been explored in various films, but the way it was intertwined with a love story in Your Name is brilliant. What sets this film apart is its refusal to hold the audience's hand. The first act is dedicated to determining what exactly is going on, and this …

An absolutely stunning film! There is nothing to even marginally dislike about 'Your Name'. The animation is sensational, breathtaking in fact. The amount of detail, particularly in Tokyo, is insane. It's utterly gorgeous to watch. Then you have the magnificent story, which is filled to the brim with feeling and meaning. I felt everything that it intended me to. It's also paced to perfection and is told through two …

Your Name was a major international commercial success; until the release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, it was the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, grossing US$400 million worldwide. The film's greatest success came in its native Japan, where it grossed ¥25.17 billion, 10% of the nation's entire box office revenue for that year. It achieved the second-largest gross for a domestic film in the country, behind Spirited Away, and the fourth-largest ever, behind Titanic and Frozen. It is the first anime film not directed by Hayao Miyazaki to earn more than US$100 million (~¥10 billion) at the Japanese box office. The film topped the Japanese box office…
