… an Akira-sliding good time.

As a mild switch-up to the original, it’s enjoyable enough …

… a gorgeously-captured vista of the sheer frustration that can come from attempted discovery of one’s roots.

… all kinds of goofy, but at such a purity to be inspiring.

… as Bleach as Bleach gets.

… as rewarding as it is skin-crawlingly stressful.

... the film still succeeds at that particular blend of exciting, fun, and heartbreaking entertainment that truly makes this franchise so beloved.

It is life, improvised, in all its pain and gradual relief.

… a film that viewers are unlikely to forget in a hurry …

… a well-constructed cinematic ballad that manages to harmonise brutal genre trappings and audio with light and breezy NY rom-com aesthetics
