Good story, poor execution
A story about the relationship between Takashi and Azusa, and how they navigate the complicated predicament brought upon Azusa. A heartbreaking plot, but beautiful cinematography. Halfway through the movie, I was looking for more. Not answers, but simply a hook, a crutch to support where the story is going. It was slow yet fast-paced at the same time, which added to my frustration of wanting something to grasp upon. Luckily, I stuck through it until the final quarter of the movie, where the crutch I was looking for appeared. The final scenes left me shocked, hurt, cursing, yearning, yet amazed at how the story all led to those final moments in the movie.
I am unsure how closely the story was depicted from the novel, but I would assume it had a similar ending. I would say I am not a fan of the ending, hence the overall score of 7.5. Although the ending gave answers, it still left with an open ending, one that needed one or two more answers for it not to leave a sour taste in the audience's mouth. By the end, the frustration lingered longer than I wanted, but I think it's just me who thought I'd finally have the happy ending I was looking for from Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight.
Overall, the actors did well, especially towards the end, and the plot of the story is great, although I wouldn't mind it being longer just to get a few more answers. Also, there were prolonged scenes that could've been cut by a few seconds so that the emotions wouldn't get washed away while the scene is still happening.
