An emotionally intense, unforgettable viewing experience, filled with “coming-of-age” fun and spiritual longings.

As much as it is very well done, I don’t think it’s worth putting it up on such a high pedestal on par with the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Your Name is good, but for me, it's not worthy of breaking Spirited Away’s record good.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 8, 2024

The power of connection is at its most moving in Your Name.

Japanese animated fantasy; humorous, romantic, captivating and utterly beautiful.

Your Name is a beautiful movie, and if you haven't yet checked it out and want a movie about love with a lot of humor and fantastical elements, I would highly recommend it.

So come for the first act, stay for the dynamic camera.

To say this film involves bending time doesn't even really begin to describe it, but it all makes sense in this universe, and it's a bold and beautiful wonder to behold.

Your Name is a genuine delight of a movie, an emotional adventure that crosses multiple genres. Shinaki seamlessly blends romance with science fiction to incredible effect.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2020

While Your Name's story is dubious, it doesn't disappoint. One of the standout features from London Film Festival, and one of the best animated features this year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 13, 2019

It's bold and stunning with great characters and original storytelling.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Two lovers transcending time and space to connect is an inspiring story no matter what country you hail from.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 11, 2018

There's a beautiful story that shines through. The film leads with comedy but then pulsates with adventure and tension in the second half.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 3, 2018

Your Name is Makoto Shinkai's most satisfying and complete film to date thanks to its amazingly beautiful animation, a fun yet familiar sci-fi premise, a great melding of genres (sci-fi, romance and disaster movie?) and great vocal talent.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Your Name is a beautiful Japanese animation fantasy with an other-worldly feel.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2018

Even with its over-elaborate nature and the syrupy resolution, Your Name is really fun to watch, and takes more risks than I would have expected it to.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2018

Plot hiccups aside, it's a visually impressive experience with endearing characters and a unique story.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 2, 2018

Your Name is [a] mixed bag of bravura style and exhausting storytelling... Despite these reservations, it's clear that Shinkai has created a singularly manic vision that dares to challenge what it means to remember.

The script far exceeds expectations... [Full review in Spanish]

The hand-painted animation is stunning, from comets streaking across the night sky to an afternoon walk through fall foliage that is breathtaking.
