Update: Go to the official website here for the pretty, pretty pics from the movie - http://hidamari-movie.com Reason for Watching - Ueno Juri and Matsumoto Jun. I love them both. So naturally, when I found out that they have recently acted in a movie together, I had to watch it immediately. But I admit that I usually skip movies in the drama and romance genre. I prefer light-hearted movies. They're easy to watch and don't need any energy. Opinion after watching - Must watch for romance film lovers and those who like a little mystery(don't read the spoilers for this drama!!). Story - Basically, a guy meets the girl he knew in school days and falls in love. It's a romance movie with a mystery element mixed in. And this is one story where I can't analyse the plot without giving everything away. Cinematography - The movie is beautifully shot and the locations were wonderful. Acting/Cast - I think Ueno and Matsumoto are really good actors. They carry their roles well. They had great chemistry too. I really loved her hairstyle. Short hair suits her so well lol. As for the supporting cast, I liked Mao's parents. Music - Beach Boys' Wouldn't It Be Nice suits the story and it's theme very well. It made me feel the turmoil of the characters and when it was played towards the end I wept. It's that kind of a song. Rewatch value - I don't usually rewatch movies. Even though I liked watching this movie a lot, I don't think I can go through it again. It stirred up so many emotions in me. Overall - While it's true that I wouldn't have watched if it weren't for Ueno and Jun, I'm glad I watched this. This movie makes me feel inexplicably melancholic and will stay in my memory for a long time, I think.
