From Up on Poppy Hill · review
It may not have been the best of the best, but I enjoyed watching this movie. It was completely predictable for me also in terms of the plot twist that the creator wanted to introduce into the characters' relationship. In fact, this movie didn't make me very emotional, but it wasn't too long so it kept me interested until the end. I feel that the purpose of this film was very specific. Everything was interconnected - the students wanted to save the clubhouse, which led to a stronger relationship between the main characters, and this revealed the stories of both families. It was quite a simpleyet interesting storyline. And even though it wasn't very emotional, I have really warm feelings about this story.
