Critics Consensus

As beautifully animated as it is emotionally satisfying, Your Name adds another outstanding chapter to writer-director Makoto Shinkai's filmography.

Beautifully animated (we're talking Studio Ghibli standards here), Your Name captures that sensation of waking up from a dream you wish lasted longer, or misplacing a name that's still warm on your tongue, but has just departed.

By the time Your Name reaches its moving finale, the Next Big Thing tag doesn't seem quite enough for Shinkai. He's arrived already.

5/5

By the time Your Name reaches its final half-hour or so, the film has moved so far beyond its initial premise that if you think back to the beginning, you'll be astonished by how far it's come.

It’s a film that, in every dazzling animated frame, increasingly yet subtly captures something essential about the human condition.

5/5

An emotionally intense, unforgettable viewing experience, filled with “coming-of-age” fun and spiritual longings.

It’s a contemplative and introspective film that uses the body-swapping gimmick to explore growing up and experiencing life from another perspective, and it celebrates how connections to culture and family shape who we are.

Your Name is a beautiful well-made animated film about a city boy and an urban girl switching places like Freaky Friday but the more they learn more about each other the more they fall in love with each other.

Beautifully animated but the plot is confusion and difficult to follow. It is not nearly as good as 5 centimeters per second. It is still entertaining but definitely geared toward a younger audience.
