A spoonful of fashion helps the feminism go down in Nana, a delightful pop fairy tale that speaks to young women in the language of sisterhood and self-direction.
Top CriticHarajuku lovers will get a kick out of Japanese box-office smash Nana, a very kawaii celebration of girl power based on a popular manga about two 20-year-olds who share the same first name.
A surprisingly engaging piece of fluff.
The film is most impressive as that rarest of creatures: a crowd-pleaser with a genuinely artistic touch.
Despite the gritty urban setting, there are episodes of Gilmore Girls that have more 'edge.'
Audience Reviews for Nana
Super Reviewer
Based on the very popular anime and manga of the same name, this is a fun adaption. The musical aspects of the story are kept, and are as nearly as important to the story as the relationship between the two Nana's. Speaking of, the actresses chosen to play the two title characters are great, and the story is as interesting for guys as it is the girls who are the original audience.
NANA was a good movie, I liked it. Obviously it's more recommended for people who are already familiar with the source material, but even NANA newbies should enjoy this.
