Wishing Stars (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

What if there was an app that can read and save your most secret wishes and dreams in order to share them with all your friends via social networks? Whising Star investigates this question and accompanies the young student Rika, who is very desperate when her friend Haruto breaks up with her via text message. What happens now to her wish to marry Haruto?

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
