I want to eat your pancreas puts you off with the odd title. However, it is a beautiful story. The acting was very good. I also enjoyed how the story was presented. But the hilight was the characters. Both of them were so different and yet so right for each other (not in a romantic way, but a human way). The girl was possitive, bubbly, and simply adorable. The boy was quiet, unsociable, and kind of a calm force. Also, the cinematography was beautiful, with the cherry blossoms (sakura) and the school background. It served the innocence of the movie well. However, the story, in the final conclusion, kind of lacked the intensity that would have brought the whole tragedy to a climax. So, eight out of ten, because, the pace was also slow.

This movie really pissed me off. What is it with Japan and these blue pill romance films? Is this what men and women want in their relationships???

The boy and girl and their friendship/quesi-relationship really pissed me off after the first half hour. The guy could have went so much further with the girl, but because he is this herbivore male he doesn't. Also, I feel like the girl's illness is a disgrace to other people suffering from the same problem. Maybe some middle school student could like this crap and feel for it, but I can't see anyone else enjoying this.

If you want to cry for two hours at the start of your 10 hour flight from Brazil to Canada, this is a great way to accomplish that, and somehow this deceptively titled drama was featured in the in-flight programming on Air Canada. I had a few drinks, settled into my aisle seat on our giant plane and then loudly sobbed for two hours through this brutally depressing film.

10/10 would make fellow passengers uncomfortable again.
