Review of Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms (2018) by Soulwarfare — 18 Jun 2022
Maquia is a magically wonderful movie. The relationship between a mother who could live for 100s of years and a normal mortal living child makes for an engaging story. There was definitely some worries that the story might go in "that" direction. Thankfully the movie sticks to the mother and son theme and it is all the better for it. Even though you know how this film is going to end from the get go, it still manages to tug on your emotional strings.
The art style is gorgeous with beautiful backgrounds and stylish character designs. The music score is phenomenal as well. Only issues I had with the film is some slow pacing and the fact that the subplots don't have a strong resolution. This leads to some lingering questions even after the film ends.
Nevertheless, Maquia is one of the most memorable original anime movies in a long time. The story will stick with me for a long time.
