This is a great movie. And since the movies about homeless people can be counted on one hand a unique one on top of that.

A heartwarming Christmas movie. Almost impossible not to love these 3 wacky and witty homeless characters who are wrapped in a crazy story. What a ride. And don't forget, folks... Eventually it's all about miracles. No matter if they are smaller or bigger.

Satoshi Kon... I can't even describe how much I love you. You don't only make amazing bizarre movies, but also perfect comedies. This movie is everything that you need: an unique and excelent argument, really good characters, comedy that works perfectly and knows where to act and where to hide, some amazing shots and animation...

One of the best Christmas movies of all time? It certainly has to be in the conversation if we’re ignoring non-traditional picks like _Die Hard_. The very well defined & unusual characters combined with the emotional story make this an absolute winner. It might seem like a formulaic plot at the beginning, but this film is an unpredictable rollercoaster once it gets going. The sound and visuals perfectly capture the vibe for what’s needed here, it’s heartwarming without overdosing on sugar. This tone is pulled off little less successfully with the writing as the heavy, sad moments don’t mix all that well with the broad comedic style. The theme of coincidence that the film’s dealing with also leads to some plot developments that can feel forced or contrived. Still, I expect this one to attain the status of a Christmas classic as more and more people discover it. Most of the elements really work here and it’s quite accessible compared to Kon’s more conceptual work (_Paprika, Perfect Blue_). 7.5/10

Not just to scold them for being so callous, but to also learn what could possibly motivate someone to do such a thing. En route, they discover a thing or two about one another - More

An unlikely triumvirate of homeless folks discover an abandoned baby whilst scavenging through the rubbish of their downtown Tokyo district. What to do? Well this trio - a drag queen who has seen better days, one who has a bit of a penchant for the gin and the young runaway girl "Miyuki" set out to More
