Heavy tearjerker
When I first watched this it was fairly new and I was going thru a tough patch in life I just wanted to cry out but Every single drama failed to do it this was that movie that hit very deep and I cried I cried uncontrollably I couldn't imagine how every scene was so cruel. The fact that none of them (akito, haruna and ayaka) could see each other for the last time was tragic. My heart goes to akito and haruna tho they were simply meant for each other but cursed with a limited time in life and in that limited time they had enough love for each other that people that live lifetime would never experience. I have grown up watching tragedies where either the female lead dies or the male lead but what hits me the most is where both of them pass out it's like a closure that makes me hope that, yes they found each other in after like. I have never gone back and watched any tragedies ever simply cause the initial depth it lost ( and yes I feel scared ) when you know it's inevitable but this I couldn't stop myself and trust me I cried all of the times I went back to it.it crushed my heart again and again but I don't regret it I love this I will cry every single time I'll watch thisWas this review helpful to you?

Completely broke me
Watched this and I have cried enough for a year. Such a beautiful story and the actors' acting were so top notch the sadness in there eyes. The cinematography of the movie was very warm and emotional. As someone who is interested in art I could relate to the way they connected through art. It was so heartwarming to see them forming connections. If you need a sad movie to cry your eyes out this is a must.Was this review helpful to you?
Touching Story of Impossible Love
This movie is so sad and emotional in so many ways. It has a slower start, but the development is worth it. This movie mainly was good for me because of how the characters act. It seems very real and this movie really shows these real human emotions everyone has. It just makes me want to cry when I think of how sweet a story like this is ( T_T)＼(^-^ )Was this review helpful to you?

Drawing Closer — A Tender, Heartbreaking Love Story That Stays With You
Drawing Closer is a deeply moving love story between two young artists—Akito with a year left to live, Haruna with only six months—whose lives intertwine under the shadow of terminal illness. From the start, that knowledge makes every scene feel precious. Their bond grows through shared creativity and quiet, intimate moments, turning their limited time into something luminous and unforgettable. I loved how their passion for art brought them closer and how the film’s gentle pacing let emotions bloom naturally. The chemistry between Ren Nagase and Natsuki Deguchi feels genuine, their performances so heartfelt that I could feel every joy and ache through the screen. Bittersweet and visually poetic, Drawing Closer is heartbreaking yet strangely uplifting—a reminder that even short-lived love can change a life forever. By the end, I couldn’t stop thinking about them… And yes, I cried.Was this review helpful to you?

BEST BITTERSWEET
I was hoping for a happy ending but the ending ripped me in bones, and the 3 flowers gosh the acting made it seem real and I sobbed for hours.Do not reccommed for sensitive people also it's very similar to 20th century girl in alot of aspects.
Everything was perfect. The lead actress conveyed her lines and expressions ver well and so did the male lead.

Right person, not enough time
Yall better get ready for a bucket of tears because it's a bittersweet movie. It's about two 17 year old people who are going to die, one of them is dying in 6 months while the other one will die in a year. They met each other on the hospital rooftop and then forward Ren started visiting Natsuki in the hospital. He would bring her 5 flowers (gerbas) every day every time he visited her. I'll stop spoiling it here but from then forward you will have a bucket of tears at the end of the movie because it's the fact they both died and left Mayuu on her own. I'm so sad that they didn't confess to each other that they liked each other, but atleast they would get some time in heaven together. I absolutely recommend this movie if you're into sad love stories. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!!!!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Watch it while night to cry
It was sad but I didn’t cry, probably because I watched it while it was full day 😭, I usually cry a lot at movies like 20th Century Girl broke me. I tried to watch the last 30 minutes again but I couldn’t cry because I already watched it 😭 I bet if I watched it at 2am I would shed tiers. Overall the movie was good but kinda boring tbh.Was this review helpful to you?

joy/ peace /hope 3 words describes this masterpiece
this movie came to me as a light in the darkness when for months i was not able to cry..watching Haruna being sick and smile gave me hope that i must love life and thank God that im healthy enough..she is a symbol of resistence even she was alone she was never selfish, she just wanted to live a little bit longer with her hero Akito.. she fought until her last breath till she went to heaven..her acting was sumblime u cannot not fall in love with her cuteness she is adorable..i really hope to see her in more movies or Jdrama.The lesson that it was applied here was that people can become a reason to survive and even with few of them you can create the best memories before ur farawell..I hope one day i will find my own Akito he is the true definition of a caring man..imagine u still have few months for urself to live and u decide to use them to make happy ur lover instead of urself...the definition of a true gentelman..i do not think boys like him exist what he does for her is the heart of the movie...she so lucky to have him as her angel.
This movie must be more and more popular and win many awards...people must watch it to find joy in their heart. This movie will make u cry like a river even if u are a stone..i still cannot believe that after years of watching movies i came across something like that...thank u netflix

Definitely worth the watch.
I just want to say this is one of the saddest movies I’ve ever watched. I would say I am the biggest cry babies when I watch sad things but this really takes the cake. I’ve literally been crying for 2 days it’s so sad but so good. The plot is amazing and who ever wrote the story line did an amazing job at making the storyline flow. I think the way the portrayed the flower throughout the whole movie from beginning to end was so heart warming and actually made me cry even more just think about it. I also think this movie can be kind of like a message for the real world in some way or another.Was this review helpful to you?
"The color of love provides the meaning of life and art"
Drawing Closer is the latest tearjerker from writer Tomoko Yoshida whose works include Love Like the Falling Petals, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and Tomorrow I Will Date Yesterday's You.If you've watched those excellent movies before, you'll likely feel the same way about this as you did with them. Consider this your warning to have lots of tissues around before you dive in. This movie will absolutely wreck you with it's emotional portrayal of resilience and living in the moment.
