Reviews

Forget you ever heard of this film. Go read the manga. No, seriously: skip…this…movie.

What does Shoko's flower symbolize?

The film relies on subtle and sensuous motifs. Yamada uses flower language to reflect feelings and personality of the characters.

Cherry blossoms often enclose Shoko and Shoya: they appear when the two first reconcile and when Shoya's befriends Tomohiro Nagatsuka.
