An oldie but a goldie
This movie is so aggressively 2000s in the best way possible. The hair, the fashion, the flip phones! An absolute delight.It also happens to tell a genuinely lovely story about a queer relationship which goes through rocky times but ends up stronger and better than before; a delightful surprise, in other words, especially considering the time in which the movie came out.
The story itself isn't particularly unique or intense, but there is a quiet air of sweetness and gentle joy about it that makes the whole thing feel groundbreaking in its own right. And it kind of is. It's a feel-good movie about a respectfully and lovingly portrayed relationship between two men in 2000s era Japan - that's quite a rarity.
All in all I feel this movie has stood the test of time; apart from the camera quality most of the technical and story-telling aspects hold up very well.
So if you're looking for a short, easy watch that's a bit different from most modern day entries into the genre, or are simply in the market for a romantic dramedy chock-full of 2000s nostalgia, then this is the movie for you.

SIMPLES, LINDO E REAL
Esse filme é tão curtinho, eu queria mais. Esse é o ponto negativo dele, ser muito curtinho.Aqui temos a beleza que existe em toda obra japonesa que é essa introspecção que nos puxa para dentro da história.
Esse é um filme de quase 20 anos atrás e ainda se mantém moderno e atual porque ele retrata o ser humano. As dúvidas, o ciúmes, o tentar se entender mesmo que no fundo você já saiba o que é.
Acompanhar a relação deles passando de uma "amizade" (que nunca foi apenas amizade) para um casal foi super interessante e real. A química estava no ponto e as situações eram coerentes. Se tivessem mais tempo para trabalhar teria sido bom, mas fizeram um excelente trabalho dentro do tempo disponível.
Recomendo para todo mundo :)
