Weathering With You follows 16-year-old Hodaka Morishima as he leaves his isolated island to start a new life in Tokyo. ![]() Why can’t I praise my favorite movie of 2019?īut let’s take a step back first. Weathering With You is undoubtedly very good, yet I sit here unable to write a review that reflects such high regard for this work. I appreciate this film to the point I am willing to praise it as my favorite movie of this year, and yet, perhaps because of this adoration I have for both the film and its director, I feel unable to write a positive review about it. Makoto Shinkai is easily my favorite director working in the industry at the moment and has been for the best part of a decade by now. Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind. I say this now because nothing in this review of Weathering with You that you’re about to read will suggest that I have such a high opinion of this movie, and would possibly even suggest I didn’t enjoy this movie at all. ![]() I love its animation, especially the many moments of great character animation that bring life to many key scenes in this film, and I love the story it has to tell. Weathering with You, Makoto Shinkai’s latest film and his first since the phenomenally popular Your Name, is my favorite film of 2019 so far. ![]()
