She meets three Yokais: Kawa, Iwa and Mame each having different personalities. Will Momo figure out what her father tried to write her and can she adjust to Shio Island? The movie felt a little rushed and small flaws could be pointed out. It would've been nice if it explained some scenes to flesh out characters and story. The characters are likable, but not really relatable. Overall it's a pretty good film. Rating: ☆☆☆☆             See it

At first I was expecting that the movie was going to be rehash of other movies that most do. However "Hal" was an enjoyable movie. It moved at a great pace keeping everything fresh and exciting. It may be hard to lose a loved one and this movie kind of felt like a second chance. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆             Must See!
