Synopsis

Mitsuha is the daughter of the mayor of a small mountain town. She's a straightforward high school girl who lives with her sister and her grandmother and has no qualms about letting it be known that she's uninterested in Shinto rituals or helping her father's electoral campaign. Instead she dreams of leaving the boring town and trying her luck in Tokyo. Taki is a high school boy in Tokyo who works part-time in an Italian restaurant and aspires to become an architect or an artist. Every night he has a strange dream where he becomes...a high school girl in a small mountain town.

Critics' reviews

"[A] First-rate Japanese anime (...) The beauty of the feature lies in its ability to stir the imagination with eerie, resonant hand-drawn animation."

Deborah Young: The Hollywood Reporter
"This vividly realized and emotionally satisfying feature ought to make Shinkai a household name - certainly in Japan, and with any luck, in other countries as well."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"Makoto Shinkai's anime stunner deserves its unexpected Oscar buzz."

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"The beauty of 'Your Name' is that, as in the best animated movies, the thin black lines of the character design invariably dissolve, and all that remains are Taki and Mitsuha, thoroughly mixed-up teenagers."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"It’s a beautiful, captivating piece of work that gets off to kind of a rocky start but achieves remarkable momentum toward an emotional, powerful ending (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
"A visually stunning masterpiece with refreshingly understated warmth"

Forbes
"[A] visually stunning slice of Japanese animation (...) [A] staggeringly beautiful film. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"

Cath Clarke: Time Out
"This splendid movie (...) will leave audiences in a heady reverie long after its mysterious light has faded from the screen. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"

Mark Kermode: The Guardian
