A quintessential “last teen summer” story, the premise of Goodbye, Don Glees!, writer/director Atsuko Ishizuka’s first original feature, is a bit trite at first blush. But like the nectar of succulent flowers in full bloom, there is much to savor. Read full review

It's about three losers that go on an adventure and think about their future. There are a lot of beautiful scenes in it. But unfortunately, it is too exaggerated in a lot of ways, and full of cringe. The worst scene was one where all main characters sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" together, and they obviously exchanged the voice actors so they can sing accent-free English (in the original Japanese version).… Expand
