Entertainment Reviews:
The acting in the film is key. Every moment by Ken'ichi Matsuyama as Watanabe and Rinko Kikuchi as Naoko is valid yet seems distilled by memory rather than presented raw.

It's sweet all the way up, wavers in dread and slides down to doom.

It may frustrate Murakami fans, and mystify those not familiar with the book.

A natural continuation of themes that have long been important to Tran, and here they congeal into something wholly entrancing.

From the Front Row
Rating: B --
Like its source material from Haruki Murakami, this is a beautiful film that exquisitely captures grief and sadness, and unsurprisingly, it probably won't help you if you're suffering from seasonal affective disorder.
The Playlist
... suffused in melancholia, with imagery as delicate as the lives it presents and atmospheres so fragile they look like they'd shatter under too much emotional pressure.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Tokyo, the late 1960s. Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe's personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko (Rinko Kikuchi), a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not--outgoing, vivacious, self-confident marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.
