Criticism
" With a great sense of atmosphere Yoshifumi Kondo told [ ... ] the story of 14 -year-old Shizuku [ ... ]. Only in a few scenes from the film slides into the fantastic when Shizuku tries to be a novelist. Otherwise, however, he remains closely connected to the daily life and brings the emotional worlds of the two young protagonists wonderfully to the point. The realistic background drawings held impress their wealth of detail and mainly contribute by playing with light reflections on the poetic mood of the story that is not just Shizuku, but also to the public at heart.
