From Me To You revolves around the story of Sawako who is ironically dubbed as Sadako (A character from a scary movie). This unpleasant journey through her youth centers around her "scary" aura that she carries. This misunderstanding has caused Sawako to isolate herself until she stumbles upon Kazehaya. Their unexpected relationship is developed as he tries to crack at the hard shell that Sawako has unknowingly created for herself. It's a beautiful story revolving around high school friendships and how Sawako hatches from her shell.

I can't say I didn't love the actors, cause I did. Both of the main leads portrayed their roles beyond what I originally expected while going into this movie, as did many of the side characters. Their acting greatly contributes to how you perceive the story and just makes you fall in love with it even more. I mean, Miura Haruma flashing his "Kazehaya smile" is one of the reasons I fell in love with his role and his acting.

The music was more of background noise to me as I was so focused on the story itself but it was still pleasant. It goes pretty standard in terms of music in Japanese movies. That's just based on what I consider as nothing memorable but nothing horrible. Of course, my music tastes differ so you never know.

From Me To You is a movie I would watch over and over. It's got that stroke of something that just draws you in, at least it did for me.

To end, as always, I implore you to watch this movie for yourself and make your own conclusions. I will say that if we were to go off of lists on movies revolving youth, romance, and friendship, "From Me To You" it would be this movie.
