Wolf Children
93
This movie is great from top to bottom, from a great love story to begin with, to great family dynamics and journeys, to a great climax and ending to wrap it up, I does a great job telling an engaging story like no other. As for Hana, she is one of my favorite leads ever and has an amazing journey and growth from losing her love to raising her kids to be just like her and him. There are some super strong themes about parenting, family, and growth in here and they discuss these with beautiful montages and dialogue that highlight the movie for me. I like how they went about creating the kids personality, making them complete opposites in how they went about life as a wolf child. It took me a while to finally get around to watching this one, and when I finally did, I was very impressed with it, there are very little flaws and it was amazing. The only real gripe I have was the pacing was strange at times, and sometimes Ame pissed me off, but all around, I loved it.
Also that snow scene is incredible and could be up there for one of my favorite of all time.
