Synopsis

Upon entering university, Hinako moves to a coastal town. She loves surfing, and when she's on the waves she's fearless, but still feels uncertain about her future. When a fire wreaks havoc in the town, Hinako encounters young firefighter Minato. As they surf and spend more time together, Hinako feels drawn to someone like Minato who devotes himself to helping other people. Hinako also holds a special place in Minato's heart. (Source: Toho)

hxiehxie91/100

A warm, funny, and poignant portrait of young love. Fantastic soundtrack and character animation.

_Note: There is a spoiler in this review regarding a plot element that is actually also spoiled in most of the film's marketing materials and pitches. I think viewers are best off going into this film blind._ Masaaki Yuasa does it again (at least in my humble opinion). Him and the rest of the creat…

Whether literally or figuratively, this movie shows us how to ride our wave.

Ride Your Wave. 🎵There you are, out on the water.🎵 I initially intended for this to just be a simple status update to go alongside me completing this movie but I figured that I have a good amount to say about this. As an author's note, this was the visualization of the very first…

Beautiful, Heartwarming Movie about Loss and Life (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

~~~img220(https://kimi-nami.com/img/h1_pc.png)~~~ ~~~~~~~~~__CONTAINS SPOILERS!__~~~ I saw this movie in theaters with my boyfriend, and I must say, although the plot seemed pretty predictable, I was __still__ incredibly moved with the story. The animation is absolutely gorgeous (in fact, it's what…

A beautiful tale of love, loss, and grief. The film manages to excel in every area and is definitely worth your time.

Ride Your Wave is proof that even the most cliche premises can be elevated with great animation and execution.

(This review was originally written on February 19th, 2020) Romance movies are a dime a dozen. They're practically everywhere, so any attempt at making any form of romance media will inevitably seem cliche, because at this point, there's literally no original storytelling ground for them anymore. I…

I did not really like this film, if you want to know why, read this review.

Yuasa fez todos os personagens surfarem em suas próprias ondas... só que esqueceu de me fazer surfar nesse filme.

~~~Particularmente, é difícil e até mesmo subjetivo analisar um romance. Isso porque as experiências que moldam um bom romance não são imutáveis. Elas costumam variar de pessoa para pessoa, então chegar em uma crítica precisa ou algum tipo de consenso nesse tema é extremamente complicado. Porém, eu…

A love story as gorgeous and exhilarating as the ocean.

__Warning: Spoilers to follow__ I think it’s safe to say that Masaaki Yuasa has a thing for water motifs. First with Mind Game, then with Lu Over the Wall, and now with Ride Your Wave, water has featured prominently in three out of his four feature films. The ocean is as much a main character in th…

A great film by Masaaki Yuasa depicting romance and growing up, but maybe a little ambitious for me

This review contain spoilers. The first thing I'd like to make clear in this review is that it is going to be really about my personal experience watching the movie rather than an "objective" analysis. This is important because I feel that if had watched this in another moment of my life or even in…
