Jay W @RT52162311 Jul 8, 2025 This is a bold strategy. "to the Solitary Me Who Loved You" was released the same day as "To Every You I've Loved Before", as if they were Pokémon games of the same generation. The director used this as a way to highlight the shifting parallel universes that the movie goes into. I admire the ambition, but this movie bit off a bit more than it could chew. I like how matter of fact they are with their imaginary science. Everyone is just OK with the fact that parallel universes and ghosts exist. There is no villainous force trying to use the technology for evil, it is just a fact of life. But this strategy does make it hard for the audience to follow what is going on. A bit of housekeeping, if you are watching these films back-to-back like the director intended, you can go ahead and skip 1:06:00 to 1:20:00 because that is all recycled footage from "To Every You I've Loved Before". I do prefer that film, but both of them feel incomplete. I wish they had come together to create this unforgettable story, but the two halves do not make a perfect whole. In this one, Koyomi is too obsessive and refuses to move on with his life. And comparing the two, the romance is done better in the first one. See more Read all reviews
