The story, the ambiance and the discourse of what they are trying to tell us = everything was worth it! Definitely a great movie, especially one from and for the LGBTQ+ community. Not just that but we also saw some perspective of how the LGBTQ+ community is being viewed in Japan, with their culture and traditions - especially that of marriage and divorce, as a backbone of those perceptions.

It was not too intense with emotions nor actions, just the right balance of sensory perceptions to tag and pluck at the heartstrings.

There are no bad guys. Every single character has reasons for the things they do and none of them are bad people. They're simply humans who make mistakes. Rena is not a very good mother at the start, but then by the end we can see the effort she puts in for her child. She puts Sora first and realizes her spending time with her father is more important than any personal feelings she might hold towards him and Shun. On the other hand, Nagisa is a great father all throughout the movie but he isn't aware of the hurt he has caused. By the end he realizes that he's the only one who can stop the pain and the fighting and make things better. Shun.. well, Shun is perfect lol, but hopefully he will come out to his coworkers. not for them, but for him, so he can finally live a happy life. The only person I actually got mad at was Rena's lawyer but even he was just doing his job.

This movie tells a great realistic story about the hardships gay people face, but also the inequality men face during custody battles. The love Shun and Nagisa have for each other is shown in everything they do, from the looks in their eyes to the kisses they share. All the character were good and well-written. Amazing movie.
