"THAT ENDING HOLY SH*T "

"Criminally underrated Christmas movie"

"Pride Day 24: Slipping in right under the time limit for this one but... Wow. I hadn't yet seen this film despite being a big fan of Satoshi Kon but that was incorrect if me. This movie is about 3 homeless people who find a baby in the trash and decide to try to return the baby to her mother. The 3 homeless people are an alcoholic man, a teenage girl and a trans woman. I knew going in that this wasn't going to be perfect and it's not but it actually treats Hana, the trans character with a lot of compassion. It can be messy, these characters can be very messy and at times straight up cruel to each other. But I had an emotional reaction here and found myself just bawling by the end even though this movie was for the most part pretty lighthearted. If a movie that asks "what if virgin Mary was a homeless trans women" sounds interesting to you then I really do recommend this movie."

"So sweet filled with loving imagery and also Hana the drag queen/ trans woman (not super chill to conflate those two) is possibly one of my favorite characters in film. Empathetic and caring and slightly unhinged. She’s iconic and very relatable to me . I cried…a lot. Possibly the sweetest holiday/Christmas movie I’ve ever seen"

"I remember the trash eng sub from back in the Sony DVD days... these folks that get to experience it through the GKIDS release now don't know how good they have it."

"One of my favorite Christmas movies! Be prepared to cry"

"Wholesome but confusing "

"One of the best anime movies ever made"

"I've been waiting to rewatch this when the new English dub comes out. But it's a really good film about found family, Satoshi Kon is an icon 😔 The perfect christmas film "

"Honestly my favorite one on this list! A comedic beauty filled with found family, love, and moving on from one’s past! "
