I liked the movie, but mostly for the soundtrack. I blame Destiny for that.

I liked the animation a lot. Found one piano piece that was jarring for me where a few notes just felt wrong, other than that the music was good.

Sadly I couldn't connect to the characters and thus the most important part (for me) of any medium was lost.

8/10, carried by visuals. 7/10 is worth watching on my personal scale.

I would say that there is one great anime and 10 or so worth watching each year. Out of ~300. So the problem is finding the good ones. (First 200 or so anime were all good, then it was repeating a bit too much. After 800 series/movies/ova I have become a bit picky.)

I find it sad that most great visual anime are in movies. A medium I dislike a lot due to the episode length. I always want a break after 45 minutes, which is a third of a modern movie.

First one in this video.
Around 1:05 when the height of the notes changes. It is so jarring for me.
Around 1:48 when the notes are moving over the spectrum. Sounds like the pianist just misses a note in there.
Probably is how they wanted it but I dislike it a lot. That entire piece is one I don't like (has a few short passages I like) though those two points stick out. Probably too strong contrasts or however you express that in music terms.
