This Japanese anime takes the every day concept and builds a relationship between two teenagers yet to fully understand this film you need a little knowledge of Japan and its culture.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 25, 2023

Shinkai's technical achievement is his precision in capturing small details of urban life, with visuals so sharp that you might mistake them for a photograph at first glance. Yet there's an intensity of color in his drawings that no camera could provide.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 14, 2022

Despite the catastrophic and even apocalyptic climate, Shinkai makes sure his world is shimmering in radiant colors, love and humanity shining through.

Weathering With You may have too many elements in common with Your Name, but it's a gorgeous movie with magnificent visuals and music. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 16, 2020

Thematically, as much as it all may seem relatively light-hearted on the surface, Weathering With You delves into some darker and more mature themes. It's a difficult balance to maintain but for the most part, it succeeds.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2020

Just as mystical as Your Name. but not as affecting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 26, 2020

While Weathering With You may suffer from a bit of tonal whiplash across the runtime, it's an engrossing modern fable, thanks to the vibrant life that is given to this stormy, rainy, Tokyo.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

"Weathering With You" is another great anime by the latest master of the category, and a film that everyone will enjoy watching.

...the need to belong and be loved are universal themes that Shinkai, an expert crafter of young, teenage love stories, explores very well in 'Weathering With You.'

| Jul 17, 2020

Although Weathering With You includes serious social issues about homelessness and the hazards of messing with the environment, ultimately this is a sweetly sentimental film where the biggest messages are about taking life-changing risks for true love.

A film with a huge heart and a vivid imagination.

[The] plotlines ... seem to be on different planes altogether ... the characterizations are lazy archetypes and many points of tension are artificial. I still enjoyed it[.]

Viewing this as a standalone film without all the comparisons, it's hard to deny the wonderfully charming chemistry between Hina and Hodaka.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2020

I love this movie.

| Original Score: 8.7/10 | Mar 13, 2020

It is hard for anyone in the Japanese animation industry to escape the legend of Miyazaki. But Shinkai is paving his own path and he expands on the success of Your Name with Weathering with You.

| Mar 2, 2020

Weathering With You also explores the myriad effects of climate change on our industrialized society, but I think its message is one of simultaneous resignedness and hope.

| Feb 21, 2020

Another essential slice of thumping, bittersweet genius from one of Japan's great modern anime auteurs.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 11, 2020

This is anime remixed with romance and rock opera ballads - much more of a confection than a social critique. Weathering With You is a typhoon-infused fantasy grounded in a tangible reality.

| Feb 4, 2020

This film's simply too soggy to live up to Shinkai's other films, box-office success be damned.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 30, 2020

Weathering With You does a poor job of balancing its supernatural weather story with its central romance.
