Weathering With You also explores the myriad effects of climate change on our industrialized society, but I think its message is one of simultaneous resignedness and hope.

Jana Monji

Age of the Geek

This Japanese anime takes the every day concept and builds a relationship between two teenagers yet to fully understand this film you need a little knowledge of Japan and its culture.

Rated: 4/5

Tom O'Brien

Next Best Picture

Shinkai's technical achievement is his precision in capturing small details of urban life, with visuals so sharp that you might mistake them for a photograph at first glance. Yet there's an intensity of color in his drawings that no camera could provide.

Rated: 8/10
