Not only did I have moments where I laughed, there were scenes that moved me emotionally, too. It's great when I can root for the characters and connect with them.

The movie certainly makes me appreciate all the hard, dangerous work of the stunt people, and the pyrotechnics, and all that is involved. At the end credits, you get to witness the real stunt people doing the scenes in the movies. That was nice to see.

I'm a fan of Emily Blunt, and wasn't really a fan of Ryan Gosling. I, now, change my mind. As mentioned before, I was moved by his character, hence his acting. The dynamic between the two lead characters and their story was great to witness. I recommend a watch. :)

I came out of the theatre verbally saying, "Oh my god, that was SO boring." I couldn't wait to get home, as I was curious to see what the rating was on IMDb. I saw the rating of 7.7/10 (15K ratings so far), and I said, "What?! How?"

I was looking forward to this film, as I do for all Studio Ghibli films. But, my god, I was so bored about halfway, to two-thirds of the way through. I seriously contemplated walking out, as I was so bored. I couldn't, because I had to see what the ending was like, so I pushed through. Well, the ending disappointed, too. "That's it?" Sigh. If you want to see a Studio Ghibli film, I recommend you watch any other one of his, or your favorite. You'd do yourself a favor, and actually enjoy the movie if you did.

Man, this sounds harsh, I know. And I hope Hayao Miyazaki doesn't read this review. You've done GREAT work, sir. Just, this one isn't it.

Upon reading that this is semi-biographical, I'm even more sorry that I have said the above, but I have to be truthful to people seeking out reviews. I can't give a 1, as all the hard work that goes into making an animation. I could give a gracious 3, but that seems dishonest. I'll give it a 2.

I couldn't emotionally connect with the boy. The plot, though there is one, just didn't do anything for me. I didn't get a grand lesson from this. I wasn't moved, other than to boredom.

Gah, I'm struggling in considering if I should post this review. I feel so bad.

My god. This is the best movie I have ever seen. I'm not being hyperbolic. It's just what my INFP in me thinks and feels. I couldn't wait to get home so that I could write a review and scream from the rooftops, "Go see Godzilla Minus One!!!!"

I hate spoilers, so if I can say one last time before you read further, "Go see the movie." The rating as of now on IMDb is 8.5 of 10 out of 6.7K ratings. If you didn't know, that is EXTREMELY high on this site (top rated movies hit this mark).

Okay, so you're still here. Well, I tried. My mind kept on saying to me, "Now this is what storytelling is all about." The thing that I appreciated about this movie is that the setting helped me appreciate the humanity of the "enemy"; I'm not referring to Godzilla. If you like to cry, or feel something in a movie, this one certainly did it for me. There was no pacing issue for me. I LOVE this movie!

Props to everyone involved in the project. It's a masterpiece! You all should be proud.

Coming from a Asian standpoint personally, I enjoyed seeing the emphasis on the Asian-American aspect.

All I can say is that I really enjoyed this, enough to watch all 10 episodes in one sitting. I couldn't wait to press play to the next episode.

It certainly felt very human, and though their actions wouldn't ever be something I would do personally, it also didn't feel out of the bounds of human choices; bad choices.

There certainly are consequences to the decisions you make, and this was a good exploratory view into that, without having to live it yourself. Good lessons are to be had here.

Upon seeing the high rating of this show (as of my review, 8.8/10 with 243K ratings), that certainly intrigued me. Then I saw the name of the show and thought, what a strange, uncreative name. But the rating has to mean something, right? Well, don't let the uncreative name make you think this show has no depth or creativity. It is such a great show. Not only is it funny, but there are so many poignant moments that moved my heart and made me shed more than a few tears; fine, it made me ugly cry. Haha.

The only sad thing is that I'm on season three, a week in, and I just can't wait for another episode to come. Curses, binge watching when a series is not over yet is a curse. ;) And I certainly hope that this series doesn't end anytime soon. It touches on many issues through the different expositions of many of the supporting character's lives. Great work whoever you are (the team) that has written such a good story... and of course, bravo to all the actors, especially the actor for the man Ted Lasso. Thank you for tugging on my heartstrings. You are a great actor.

I personally enjoyed this. I thought it was funny, and wasn't expecting that.

I'm seeing ratings with 1 star. What?! It's not one star. Wow.

Anyhow, I like it, and hope it's a success. If subsequent episodes are as amusing as the first, I'm all for it.

I'm going to write it like I'm recommending it to family or friend.

Man, this was such a good.... great movie. It wasn't what I had expected at all for a love story. Maybe I don't watch enough love stories. XD Haha!

Anyhow, without giving it away, the setting was not what I expected (thank goodness I didn't pay attention to the trailer. I hate trailers! It ruins movies.).

What I REALLY appreciated was the REALISM in the characters' decisions.

A major life issue is also addressed. Bravo to the author, film makers, and actors.

All I really want to say without spoiling too much is that human nature is, or can be, messy and complicated. The issues that the two confront seems real to me. This made me appreciate the character very much as I could relate to them and empathize. The setting/plot is something I could easily imagine involving myself personally.

I'm sorry. This review is vague so that there will be no spoilers. But it's definitely a movie you should watch if you want a new (to me) concept I haven't seen before.

What a great concept! The acting and settings were very unique. It's interesting what goes through your mind as you watch the movie, and the conclusions you draw from yourself and the characters.

Make the main character likable at least! Geez! Didn't like how she treated her step-dad, a genuinely nice character. Not rooting for the girl at all.

I've only watched the first episode, but didn't feel like watching the second.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. Was definitely hoping it wasn't a bust, or a waste of time. For me, it wasn't. I smiled at the end, and now I'm here moved enough to give a rating and review. :)

There were pleasant, lighthearted, comedic moment, so that was amusing and fun. There were moments of human drama that made it real and moved me. I would watch it again in the future.

All the actors were new to me, except the mom. Thumbs up on their performance. :)

I didn't come in with any expectatations, other than maybe the average score (as of now, at 6.1/10 from 4,472 stars). But I think that is a disservice to this movie. I may have chosen not to go see it. But I have to say, I don't often feel like I would recommend a movie. But I would recommend this.

What I like about it is that it feels realistic. It has an exciting, action-packed type feel, but not overly so. Also, it scared me at times, and I'm not usually scared.

And I love that Kristen Stewart was the strong lead character in this. I am so happy for her. Smart, strong, empathetic, and all the good quality you would love to see in a person. Bravo! I hope she get more characters like this.

Maybe it's a Hollywood vs. French movie thing. I don't know. I'm not a big watcher of any movies outside of the U.S. I know, expand my world, right?

Well, I like this movie. There's no big drama, heart-pounding, action-type emphasis or music. This is good. It flowed realistically, and it felt like real life. The characters and scenes were believable.

Good movie.

What a beautiful movie. There are lessons in there that I will take to heart, hopefully for the rest of my life. Thank you. I am hopeful that I will grow and take action.

The actors, their emotions, their facial expressions, everything in movie, felt real. They truly have their craft down. Saying that feels like it's a mechanical thing, like a negative. It is not. They truly understand human nature, and it showed. Thank you.

I am so glad I watched this. GREAT job everyone. <3

I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into this movie (a couple of minutes late, too). But, boy oh boy, did this movie move me. I typically won't write something (say poetry) unless it affects me emotionally in a super-high, or super-low sort of way.

I go into movies not knowing what they're about because I don't watch trailers (gives away too much, and I want to be in complete darkness in regards to storyline). This movie was already low in priority as a must see in the theatres (I have MoviePass). And if I'm being honest with you, I probably wouldn't have wanted to see it if I knew what the subject was about. It would have been a disservice to myself.

So, if you want a movie that tugs at your heart, you will want to see this, no matter where you lie in the spectrum of non-faith or faith.

Cheers! ;)

For me, I like a story to unfold without any review or narrative, or "critic's" opinion on the matter. I want to be the first one to hear the story and not bias myself before even watching it. Your opinion of the movie should be your own, not colored by another person's opinion. So my suggestion to any prospective viewer, especially this movie, is that you go in absolutely in the dark about it. At the end, you'll discover a whole new appreciation for what you've just watched.

Out of ALL the movies I've seen this last month (and I've seen ALL of them due to having a movie pass), this one is an absolute standout! It is amazing how entertaining it is. It was recommended to watch it on the big screen, and I wholeheartedly agree!

But beyond it being entertaining, and a Great Show - so befitting of the movie title - it is an utter inspiration to the human spirit. I know it is from my own life's experience that I should feel this, but everyone with the capacity for empathy, or who has ever had doubts in their life, I feel, would be moved by this.

From the opening song and visual magic, I already felt something in my soul/heart/being. I didn't ever expect it to build up continually through the entire movie. The pacing and transition to different scenes were smooth and intriguing. They connected them with true storytelling genius and creativity. The filming/compositions/camera work was beautiful!

I knew I had to get the soundtrack to this. I searched for the nearest stores, but they didn't have it. I didn't mind trekking to a store farther away from home, because I knew I had to feel at home in my heart, again. Haha. Yes, that line was cheesy, but still.... haha. You get the emotion.

Watch it in theatres! I'm going to watch it again! I'm going to have to clap this time around. ;) Allow your heart be moved to action(!).

Enjoy the show, ladies and gentleman. May your life be filled with the dreams you make come true.

Warm regards, huyzer

I came in thinking this movie would have a serious theme to it. It surprised me how amusing (not in a bad way) and funny a lot of the moments were. The moments where the movie tries to make you laugh, it succeeded. I couldn't help but, literally, laugh out loud in the theatre. Others were definitely doing the same. I feel the comedy worked. For your comparison, I think in Thor: Ragnarok, it tried too hard. I think they were trying to make it like Deadpool (which succeeded in my eyes).

The special effects were definitely amusing in the beginning due to the character. This took me by surprise. But the special effects are not on par with Hollywood blockbusters that we're used to from the United States. I can't fault it too much though, because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

It entertained, and I will definitely be recommending it to others. I connected with the characters, and the psychology of the relationships between the characters. Anyhow, that's enough from me. I recommend you go see it. :)

As I grow older, and without a family of my own, I can live vicariously through the imagination of others, and see what I would want in my own child. The qualities seen in Daisy is how I dream a child should be allowed to BE: honest, forthright, able to speak from the heart. I absolutely agree with the storyteller, and love this movie so much. Thank you all for a beautiful story.

Before watching this movie, I didn't really have high expectations. I didn't know anything about it, and from the rating on IMDb (as of now: 5.4/10, with 738 votes), I was just expecting some B-movie. Well, I was very surprised in a GREAT way. I was really moved by this movie, even to tears, and moved my heart to think of my life and priorities. It truly was a great movie. And now I'm listening to the song at the end credits.... <3 A great, touching, moving end. Thank you producers, actors, and support roles in all capacity of this movie. It will most likely remain in my heart for a lifetime, when I think back on movies that touched my heart/inner being.

I truly enjoyed this movie. It makes you think about the prejudices one might have about a certain way of life, and the reasons why some may choose a path that may seem "strange".

I won't go any further than that. I, personally, enjoyed this movie a lot.

--- Oh, wow. I need a minimum of 10 lines for a review?! ---

Goodness... okay. I didn't really want to be verbose about this. But now that I have to, I guess I can state why I like it. I think when kids are involved, it makes you want to make the correct decisions in life. It was food for thought what this movie did. I guess that's what art is for.
