movie review - Your Name

twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 2017.07.07
This is an engrossing tale about two teens who keep waking up in each other's bodies; one boy, one girl. A story emerges about a town destroyed by a bolide (poor Japan!), though there are some serious surprises waiting for the boy (who quickly falls for his counterpart). I wasn't entirely sure I understood the ending, which is a bummer and I don't know whether the translation missed something or whether the writing was unraveling at the end, but I certainly enjoyed getting there.
Recommended.
