Console best movie i've ever seen.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
fiatfer123 After watching Wolf Children for the first time (in English), I cried for three days straight. Never before had I seen a film that truly gave me an emotional understanding of the sacrifices that mothers make for their kids. Selfless love doesn't even describe it. Everything about this film, from the lush landscapes of Tohoku to the divine score by Takagi Masakatsu, demonstrates an inimitable humanity that Mamoru Hosoda fosters for his characters. While all of his films since The Girl Who Leapt Through Time have explored themes of family and growing up, Wolf Children is surely his masterpiece.
castelx Truly a wonderful movie if maybe a tad too long for its own good. The pacing is not always at its best cause of that.Oh and, dude, you really had to keep your wolf form for that kind of action? Not judging, just a bit surprised.But joke aside, really, top notch movie. Just watch it if you haven't yet. You aren't going to be disappointed.
Cartoonreviews (sigh) this movie. oh boy. this movie. I really don't want to go on a giant rant so I'm going to keep this as simple and short as I can.Okay so a woman falls in love with a wolf...man...shafeshifting...thing. yeah I didn't really understand the lore with this one. Okay fine. Whatever. She gets knocked up twice with wolf pup human hybrids and then he goes out in his wolf form to get food and gets hit by a truck and dies. Awesome. Everyone I was watching this with found this really sad. I just thought it was really stupid as I was thinking 'she's a human. The hell are you going to bring her back as a wolf? Like... a dead rabbit? oh that's nice.' He had a human job. How about he just...ordered a pizza or something? Nope gotta go out as a wolf, die and leave a widow with 2 kids. Awesome.So the next hour and a half is just the kids growing up. The girl wanting to be more human and the boy wanting to be more like wolves. That's really about it. It is exactly as boring as it sounds. Everyone acts like it's this big sad story when in actuality the boy is just being a rebellious 'you don't understand mom. I'm a wolf! No one gets me!' and the girl's all 'I have boy troubles!' and the wife is sad and doesn't want to lose her son to....the forest? I am rarely so bored during a movie as I was during this one. This movie had the amazing ability to make almost 2 hours be filled with absolutely nothing. Watching this movie is like somebody making a very pretty castle out of white bread and then after it is done telling you to eat it and then crying when you do. I know that's a strange analogy but....that pretty much sums up this film. It is pretty, sad, white bread. It's not bad...it's not good. It's just....there. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, I was just straight up bored. 4/10
lorencnba This review will not be long. I will simply say, because I must say this right now. I am coming of age; I have an infinitely loving mother and a highly absent father, though he lives and I get to see him everyday. This film tore me apart, and I desperately hope to show it to both of my parents, I hope and believe that it might help us all, my brother, too. Watch this film!
