A few minor problems but otherwise another solid film by Shinkai.

Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical against socialism.

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.
