‘Till We Meet Again on the Starry Hill’: Time-travel kamikaze romance gets a pointless sequel
Takehiko Shinjo's follow-up to a 2023 hit film is even more muddled than its predecessor.
The sequel to the Japanese time-travel romance "Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill" has hit theaters, but critics argue it lacks the narrative substance that made the original a hit. Based on a novel by Natsue Shiomi, the new film "Till We Meet Again on the Starry Hill" was released in December 2023 and has quickly become one of the highest-grossing movies of 2024. However, the sequel feels more driven by commercial motives than the need for a compelling story.
