"The Place Promised in Our Early Days" Review:
The style of this Japanese animation movie is characterized by a very clever use of computer-effects and plans often fixed cameras. The pace of his stories is relatively slow, with feelings of melancholy and access a theme of feeling beyond the distance that often comes up.
