Some scenes were so touching , some scenes were so flat :( I really am confused with this one

Hase yuuki was such a lovely boy who is an absolute imaginer. you could feel the excitement he has and the kind heart he has there, he is also a boy who respect people's feelings , even if that means the girl she loved likes someone else. he is sincere and cute.

our girlie was on the other hand , I felt like we knew almost nothing about her personality... I couldnt figure out her personality at all , I didnt understand her feelings too. I get it was because of her condition , but she was too cold to me. I knew she treasured yuuki and was a good person overall but other than these I feel like we absolutely know nothing about her. I kinda loved the second more more , she was always taking care of yuuki and showing affection to everyone , had some personality going on in front of us.

it sadly felt like it was only male lead loving the girl again. the ending was just too open to me even tho it probably wasnt made to be an open ending.

did she completely remember him? or is that just traces of her memories? does she love him in that way? what was gonna be her response when she was gonna meet koju back then? did she liked koju? is she again gonna forget everything after that? I had so many questions left with no answers at all.

yet , it was a smooth watch for me even tho it got a little dragged towards the middle . it was enjoyable to watch overall ,not boring.

ESPECIALLY. that scene where FML found the book yuuki doodled and recalled their memories ALMOST made me tear up because it felt so nice and cute yet heartbreaking :( it really was a special scene and probably the best thing about this movie.

I think it was a bit of a waste of potential. I felt like they could give us a second couple like ML's best friend and 2nd female lead or kujo and second femal lead. non lead characters were loveable to me , i thought they could have been given more screentime. and they should just give us some information after that sudden ending scene and just answer my questions like that. maybe with a future cut kinda thing.

it was watchable tho. dont get your expectations so high ,but its still enjoyable. cant say the ending didnt make me pissed a bit (a lot actually)

Been waiting to watch this movie for a long time now, as I'm a big Kento fan. And I wasn't disappointed. I liked that it was refreshing unique, though there were some parts that were just too shoujo. But, at least, they kept it clean and they didn't add that manga vibe and overreaction that usually movies like this one have. The ending was okay and heart breaking, so be aware!! The story in general was cute and sweet, with not too many twists and a so so mystery. The performances were good. So, 7 out of 10.

As much as I love Yamazaki Kento, I think that he wasn't really suited for this cheerful, happy-go-lucky character. Rather than him, I think someone like Chiba Yudai would play this part better.

Other than that, I don't see many flaws. The story is quite different from the anime, but not more than expected. After all, it's pretty hard to copy a story exactly as is.

There's nothing wrong with the soundtrack, and I loved the fact that they added the OP song of the anime

too adorable for words

I can't even begin to describe the sheer amount of squeeing this movie brought on. So many reasons to love it, but the first and most important is the slightly nerdy performance of Kento Yamazaki as the ML. He's adorable with his quirky smile and his head full of unruly hair and his ferocious determination to befriend this girl who can't remember him one week from the next. It's neat that the story isn't necessarily a romance. I mean, I get that he's in love with her, but at the same time, friendship plays a really big role in the story. So the romance is almost easily missed, but that's okay because it's just so stinking ADORABLE. I wish I could just have "One Week Friends" set on repeat and do nothing else for an entire day! Anyway, if you haven't watched it, do! If there's one potential flaw it's that we don't really see a lot of what's being written in the exchange diary. I can live with that!

I must state first that I have not read the manga nor watched the anime before I watched the movie so I'd say it's understandable that you weren't fulfilled or satisfied if you have read the manga or watched the anime.

That being said...

This was honestly one of the best movies I have watched.
The story is heartbreaking. The acting is amazing. I just really enjoyed the movie!
Some may have a problem with the plot but honestly it's just that good.
Maybe I'm overhyping it a little bit but to me it is THAT good so it is definitely a must watch!

Normally when I watch japanese live actions or movies, I don't quite pay attention the OST, however the OST soundtracks for this film was great. I initially watched this because the main role acted in many other films that I've watched and he's a great actor. However, the storyline was interesting and the casting was nice. I cried once throughout this whole movie so it's not too emotional. It's a cute, short school story. I recommend you watching this and I haven't read the manga for this so that might be my next step.

«One Week Friends» est un magnifique film sur l’amitié et le pouvoir de celle-ci. Touchant, triste, émouvant et chaleureux, ce film m’a fait passer un merveilleux moment, et a réussi à me faire monter les larmes aux yeux. Je ne connaissais pas les acteurs principaux (ou les autres), mais ils ont joué avec brio, l’un comme l’autre. Même si j’avoue que le jeu de Yamazaki Kento m’a impressionné par la gamme d’émotions qu’il démontre et me donne envie de le découvrir dans un autre projet. J’aurais aimé certaines choses différentes, mais somme toute, j’ai vraiment aimé ce film et le recommande avec plaisir !

Nonostante non ricalchi perfettamente il manga per questioni di tempistiche, le parti importanti e l'anima della storia sono state mantenute. Insomma, uno dei pochi esempi in cui il live-action riesce a tenere testa col cartaceo.
Sicuramente è anche merito dei bravissimi attori che hanno interpretato i protagonisti: Yamazaki Kento aveva già recitato in ruoli simili, quindi non mi ha stupito più di tanto la sua bravura. Molto dolce e tenera è stata l'interpretazione di Kawaguchi Haruna, veramente azzeccata in questo ruolo!
