Timeae4UApril 11, 2025This is a film perfect for girls feeling lost and lonely. Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s movies always carry a charming elegance, but this one lacks broader resonance with the audience.

wall@pileJune 6, 2025Esse é um filme perfeito para garotas que se sentem perdidas e solitárias. Os filmes de Hiromasa Yonebayashi sempre carregam uma elegância encantadora, mas este carece de uma ressonância mais ampla com o público geral.
