Our take

The body-swap trope may have engendered its own subgenre in Hollywood filmmaking, but the studio system wishes it could come up with a take as imaginative as this animated wonder from Makoto Shinkai. Incorporating time-travel and romantic intrigue, Your Name is a fantastical genre-hopping adventure.
