    I watched the Japanese film Drawing Closer. This is kind of the ultimate form of this kind of Japanese movie. It's boy meets dying girl, except the boy is also dying. I put off watching it for so long, thinking it would be miserable, but I found it life affirming in its devastation. #filmsky

    That Drawing Closer "review" was probably the longest it ever took me to review something on here. Between the character limit and just how hard it was to try and get across how that movie isn't different from the 8329287 other movies in the genre, but is somehow profound, I was struggling lol.

    Finally got the chance to sit down and watch Drawing Closer on tv and it looked so beautiful on bigger clear screen. I have no criticism about the film & enjoyed the 2hrs. Perfect amount of heartwarming and bittersweet.

    Drawing Closer reflects on how limited time reshapes the way two people learn to live, love, and confront their deepest fears, using soft visuals and intimate dialogue to build a bond grounded in shared fragility. Instead of dramatic clashes, the film lingers on internal struggles that unfold quietly yet painfully, softened by heartfelt performances and tender cinematography. Though the ending feels slightly rushed, the story remains a gentle reminder to pause, look inward, and consider how we…

    I finally got around to watching this only because I had prepared my heart to handle the possible outcome. It is a beautiful movie & the message at the end… inspiring, but my heart still hurts a bit. #DrawingCloser #jdrama www.netflix.com/us/title/815...

    I just finished watching my first Japanese movie and words can't express how much I loved Drawing Closer my stomach still hurts from crying non-stop. The way they found each other in their lowest point and found Love despite the darkness of their situation. I highly recommend it for a good cry.
