Sometimes what we want isn't what we need
Simple. Yet powerful
Not bland. But almost.
The interesting premise and beautiful atmospheric cinematography are sadly being held back by a distinct lack of strong emotional reactions from our protagonists.
Coming into this after watching "Your Lie in April", it's painfully obvious this movie just needed more CONTRAST: The constant somber tone and expressionless characters made me not care for anything that was happening - We don't get to see the characters struggle and suffer when they should, and we don't get to see them overjoyous when they should be either.
It's a shame, because the story, though predictable, was enjoyable to follow.
