Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Robert Abele Los Angeles Times A sensitively handled triptych exploring the bittersweet understanding adulthood necessitates when confronting the fragility of childhood affections. Aug 2, 2018 Full Review Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Mariló Delgado Espinof Flavors of Youth is here to make us nostalgic for lives that aren't ours... Although, unfortunately, it is very possible that it also leaves us wanting more. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (3) John Maher Thrillist Perhaps the biggest collective success of Flavors of Youth is the way the wistfulness of each short remains distinct. Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joe Reid Decider Stream it. It's sweet and pretty to look at and might make you feel happy for a change. Aug 8, 2018 Full Review Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Andrea Beach Common Sense Media Drinking, mature themes in sentimental anime. Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Flavors of Youth | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Matt Schley Japan Times While supporting young directors and international co-production are both admirable pursuits, I wonder how many viewers will be satisfied with the flavor of these somewhat under-baked shorts.

Jhosep G The story's are good, and the animation overall keeps up. I don't give it five stars only because in the last short art becomes inconsistent, therefore making it hard to watch since you're more focused on the changes in animation than in the storya and characters. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Nice collection of short stories within an appropriately sized film Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It was an amazing movie, stunning animation, well produced, all three stories were great and the message that I received was heartwarming. In total a winner Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This anthology, drawn and written under the medium's typical beauty with characterization speaking charm before fully blossoming the heart, is one of the most captivating of its presented structure based on the feelings it radiates differently among the stories that shockingly are transitionally represented along the title. The post-credit scene solidifies, in confirmation, its main theme shared across different perspectives besides just growth being actually the narrative backdrop while glistened symbolically. (B+) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is quite a cute anthology of three different stories about growing up, how time passes us by, and how even if things change, it might be for the worse. There are sad parts of the three stories, and there are uplifting as well. As always, this studio brings you a range of emotions and leaves you satisfied. Life is what you make it, and while you can't go back into the past, you can shape your own future. I definitely recommend for anyone who enjoyed Your Name or Weathering with You. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Jessica C I wasn't feeling this at all. Found it quite boring to be honest. The animation is nice but the delivery (and story) was just not my thing. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/20 Full Review Read all reviews
