Synopsis

Isabella, the daughter of the noble York family, is enrolled in an all-girls academy to be groomed into a dame worthy of nobility. However, she has given up on her future, seeing the prestigious school as nothing more than a prison from the outside world. Her family notices her struggling in her lessons and decides to hire Violet Evergarden to personally tutor her under the guise of a handmaiden. At first, Isabella treats Violet coldly. Violet seems to be able to do everything perfectly, leading Isabella to assume that she was born with a silver spoon. After some time together, Isabella begins to realize that Violet has had her own struggles and starts to open up to her. Isabella soon reveals that she has lost contact with her beloved younger sister, Taylor Bartlett, whom she yearns to see again. Having experienced the power of words through her past clientele, Violet asks if Isabella wishes to write a letter to Taylor. Will Violet be able to help Isabella convey her feelings to her long-lost sister? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Such a lovely movie🥹🤍 recommended if you are searching for comfort and warm movie night watch. I love how the story portrayed the sister relationship where no matter how far you are, you are still connected to each other and no matter what the obstacle is, you will eventually meet each other back. Very wholesome movie , worth watching.

It’s absolutely beautiful. The scenery and the emotions drive the story while deeply connecting with you. It has that characteristic depth the series has always had—carrying emotions to the ends of the earth and connecting people through whatever words are necessary. The sisters' situation and their backstory were so intense... ugh, how can you not cry and feel happy at the same time? Letting go to be happy, but knowing that the fact they will always be family—real sisters—is something no one can ever erase. It’s an incredibly strong bond.❤😭

Honestly had me in tears throughout, currently writing this review at 3 am while sniffing.
The movie has such amazing writing, the emotional depth is stunning, and the two perspectives intertwine with perfect harmony. The character development is slow but certain and, in my opinion, perfectly paced.

Though I must mention, as a person who has watched the anime too, it's horrid how characters assume, for the most part, that Violet's life has been easy... when it has been clearly far from it,

The animation is fluid for the most part, and there are scenes where you can see it go into overdrive. The soundtrack brings everything this movie has to offer exceptionally well. It's perfectly timed, in such a way that it brings emotional intensity to every scene it has been implemented in.

The plot couldn't have been done better, honestly, and it's simple but horrifyingly effective. I loved this movie, and honestly, it's pretty rare for an anime movie to carry such depth, and this is one of those few gems.
