Review of Tokyo Godfathers (2003) by Melonie O — 01 Jun 2008
This is a very funny comedy, a warm-hearted family saga and a typically Japanese road-movie all rolled into one! The animation is brilliant and Tokyo comes alive as a murky underworld reminiscent of New York in Taxi Driver, though far less pessimistic.
I disliked how there seemed to be a few too many 'coincidences', but with such a likeable bunch of characters and an upbeat story (for once in an anime) it's hard not to like the film. Thumbs up!
