Title: If you're looking for trite angst, this is the movie for you
Review: I think a lot of people get worked up about Voices of a Distant star because it was done by one person and because of the sound track. While both of those things are impressive, the plot, dialogue, and characters are not. One is almost forced to wonder why the two "star crossed lovers" bother keeping up their correspondence. By the end of this movie, they seem to have about as much of an emotional connection between them as I have with they guy who bags my groceries. Maybe less.Considering the length of this anime, it has a disproportionate amount of still shots. There's no climax or resolution. Because of the length and the lack of an ending, I actually thought I had read the box wrong and picked up the first episode of a longer series and not a movie.I normally love sad anime, but I would say Voices of a Distant Star is a force watch only.
