Review of Tokyo Godfathers (2003) by Salman F — 15 Aug 2018

This seems to be many peoples least favorite Satoshi Kon film, I can see that for sure. I'll be honest though, I love this one, it might be my favorite Kon film. Not only are the visuals some of the best I've seen in any of his feature films, but I think it's near a perfect movie.

Tokyo Godfathers cleverly mixes in the dark and dramatic with warmth and humor into it as well with fantastic and surprisingly very believable characters, an interesting plot, and again, incredible visuals.

I'm not sure if this is Satoshi Kon's best film, but of all the movies he has made, Tokyo Godfathers is the one that I wish I could make.
