★ 9/10
This film delivers a compelling and emotionally engaging story, enhanced by a surprising plot twist that brings satisfying closure despite a few illogical elements. Strong performances—especially by Takemi Fujii, who shines in her dual role—carry the film well, although aspects like makeup and character styling sometimes feel off. With memorable magic scenes and meaningful lessons about love and individuality, the film is worth rewatching for fans of heartfelt drama with a touch of fantasy.
