As a note for this review, I will do my best to limit spoilers to both the game and the movies. Winter of Rebirth has some great references to anime-original events from the film series, and feels like an authentic continuation of that world. Even if you are a big fan of the game, I’d still recommend that you see the other movies before this one. The first shot occurs almost immediately after the ending of Falling Down, and no effort is made to explain the pasts of the characters or world they live in. On the shortlist of “Unsurprising Facts of the Year,” Winter of Rebirth is not at all beginner friendly. Fans of the game might not be happy with these changes, but like the best parts of the other movies before it, Winter of Rebirth is a successful combination of the soul of Persona 3 and the makings of an entertaining film. This film provides a very satisfying conclusion to the saga by straying from from the source material in the most significant way yet.
It is a relief, then, that Winter of Rebirth makes the most of the film series’ greatest strengths with a smart, cohesive script and interesting direction throughout.
After several years and three films, the Persona 3 movie series comes to an end with Persona 3 The Movie #4: Winter of Rebirth.
