★ 8/10 Dec 1, 2025

Love Like the Falling Petals unfolds a gentle yet heartbreaking romance between two dream-chasers whose blossoming love is shaken by Misaki’s rare illness that rapidly ages her, forcing them to confront time slipping away. Despite its medically unrealistic premise, the film delivers moving moments through strong performances, tender direction, and vivid spring-like visuals that amplify both hope and grief. It ultimately becomes a poignant story about sincerity, acceptance, and loving beyond physical changes or the limits of time.
