[Khan]

i swear japanese always make something that will make you cry like a baby. Cant wait to watch this !

[sarahbecker]

Cried throughout the whole movie....so glad that I saw it because it makes you look at your life in a different view

[Pacifistray]

This is the only movie that made me cry a lot, I couldn't even count how many times. Best drama movie that will make you cry not just once but many times throughout the movie.

[まゆまゆ-wn]

I couldn't stop crying after watching it, and it really struck me I should live honestly in the present.
I want people all over the world to see it.

[purtindy]

The trailer already made me cry. Ren & Natsuki are so gentle and beautiful.
Really looking forward to this 🖤🤍

[まゆまゆ-wn]

The pure, beautiful and gentle world view brings more tears.
The cast is also gorgeous and I'm looking forward to the release.
Starring Ren Nagase is wonderful✨✨

[keller]

I am also battling cancer right now and this movie has given me a lot of positivity during this difficult time, I can only thank you for that, because the portrayal of Haruna and Akito makes it a lot easier for me

I was also in tears when I saw the movie, for me an absolute masterpiece. In my opinion, the story, the music and of course the actors in Drawing Closer deliver top performance and seduce you into a world that can make you sad, but also happy.

The aim is to make every day feel special and to live it that way.

[moonwalker]

Ren Nagase from 'Hold my hand at Twilight' and Natsuki from ' The Makanai'? I'll lay my life for these two gorgeous, talented actors. Can already tell it's going to be a hit! 😮

[花-nc]

I cried because my heart was about to break just by the notice... Ren Nagase's voice is even more sad and resonates with my heart. I want to see it soon.

[パナパナ-op]

A touching story about the bonds between people, not only the beautiful bond between Ren and Natsuki, but also friendship and family love. I love this work, spread it to many more people!

I had watched a reel of this movie and finally finished watching today. Incredible movie. I was crying throughout. A right person at the wrong time. I felt it. Actors did great by bringing out emotions and I felt a great connection. Just amazing.

[soobblu]

My eyes are puffy and can’t stop crying… 😭

[blingieebin]

This is truly a masterpiece, and i could somehow relate to their thoughts and feelings... It's one of the best movies I've ever watched!!! The second one that I've ever cried so much after 1 litre of tears

[lizzy-playz]

I couldn’t stop crying while watching this movie. The acting, the music, the storyline, everything about this movie was well done and felt. The meaning of the movie was sad yet astounding. Death and life are interchangeable, what matters is what you do with it when death confronts you. Are you going to accept it and live your remaining days as a shell or are you going to make the most out of it and “live” like there is no tomorrow. This movie will certainly make you feel a mix of anticipation, sadness, love, happiness, and gratitude. I love this movie and 10/10 recommend.
P.S. - Sorry for the long paragraph 🤣

[StephanieXAYO]

I cried through out the whole movie and gave myself headache. Will rewatch this masterpiece but after I have healed from the heartbreak.

[YoRHa_]

I watched it today and it's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen

[howardsanchez]

I knew it was going to be a really good movie but couldn’t anticipated just how good it really was and flow of tears 😭 were real. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.

[itasu]

I cried for a long time and thought for a long time. I would like to have someone I can value and have a fantastic love with. The best drama movie I've seen so far...I wish the boy had been with the girl and kissed her before he died. Omg my heart...

[uwesauer]

best film of all time. A sad topic with so much feeling and love. No Americans or Germans can make a film as great as this Japanese film that made me cry so much. The film really touches your heart. As a German, I would have hugged the girl, but Japanese culture is a little different than German culture. And that's just as well. For me it's definitely the best film in a long time. Outstanding director, outstanding film crew and overwhelming film actors. many hours later.Today I saw this wonderful, heartwarming film 3 times in Japanese with German subtitles and once in the German translation. The Japanese original is unbeatable. The German translation is far too harsh. The original voices and the Japanese accent make the film simply uniquely beautiful. If you want to do something good for yourself as a non-Japanese, then definitely watch the Japanese original with subtitles.
