Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL
Directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, All You Need is Kill (2025) is a movie written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka, starring Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa and Hiccorohee.
The theme of repeating a specific day over and over again is not new, as seen in Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow. However, adapting All You Need is Kill, the source material for Edge of Tomorrow, into an anime film was a genius move, as the material lends itself to animation.
This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.
The anime spin on this science fiction classic brings a new level of energy to the story.
