Review of Your Name. (2016) by Rena T — 24 Nov 2016
While the plot is somewhat straightforward, it is an emotional roller coaster and does an excellent job in connecting to feeling of the audience. From a hard sci-fi point of view, it also does a fairly good job in exploring concepts in memory sharing in body switches, arrow of time, and parallel universes. Not sure people who will read this will understand, but the plot of Your Name will ring parallels with the plot of Steins;Gate (but SteinsGate resolved the time/parallel universe conflict in a more technical way).
There are some plot holes toward the last 1/3 of the film (no spoilers), but they are mostly minor, and will not effect overall enjoyment of the film.
