Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is emotionally satisfying, but logically inscrutable. Rated: 6/10 Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Jean-François Vandeuren Panorama Shion Sono tente beaucoup plus de choquer son public [...] que de cerner adquatement son sujet dont le potentiel justifiait amplement la mise en chantier Rated: 5/10 Sep 22, 2005 Full Review Mel Valentin eFilmCritic.com Rated: 3/5 Jun 25, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...contains an outstanding premise, but mucks it up with inexplicable plot developments and an infuriatingly open-ended conclusion. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 25, 2004 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Harrowing Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2003 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com The film's an odd blend of mystery, social commentary, experimental freak-out, and all-out horror, and while the blend doesn't always work... it works well enough.

Gabriel T It's quite a non-cohesive movie in its tone and quality. Some scene sequences were amazing (super tense, comical or gory), while others seem to have been poorly filmed. You can notice it by the shaken cameras, weird angles, or the apparently not-intended lack of cuts. Sometimes the comedy here was incredible, and sometimes it didn't work. The special effects weren't that good and it looks like the movie never brings the character's trajectory together or wraps up the story at the end despite it being interesting Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, a história é bacaninha, só que os personagens são fracos, as cenas são fracas, o filme não traz cenas para deixar o filme bom, só as cenas do suicídio em grupo são interessantes, de resto é ruim. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Dragomir J Really interesting and fascinating to see how the plot changes and I lose it all Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Robson C Um grupo de estudantes do ensino médio suicida, saltando da plataforma do metrô, no momento que o trem passa. A partir daí, outros incidentes vão acontecendo, sem que a polícia consiga entender esta onda de suicídios. O roteirista e o diretor Sion Sono não explica o que está acontecendo. Como um documentário, ele vai registrando as várias mortes que vão acontecendo. A fotografia usada ajuda a passar esta ideia. Não é uma fotografia trabalhada, apenas a necessária para filmar. O roteiro passa por tudo que pode ser ligado às mortes: a ideia de um culto, jovens tratando isso como moda (uma trend se fosse nos dias de hoje), pessoas se aproveitando da situação, para o bem ou para o mal. O filme perturba porque não dá explicação, o que pode levar as pessoas a não gostarem, por não entenderem. Talvez uma pista esteja nas canções apresentadas pelo grupo pop Dessart. A primeira canção pede para o amado enviar um e-mail, como indicasse que a Internet era a resposta. Mais para frente, uma outra canção fala que é uma peça de um quebra-cabeças que não se encaixa. E, por fim, uma canção de despedida com uma letra cheia de duplos sentidos. Um filme aberto a significados. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review peter c quite interesting and a little weird at times, very strange, but the part that got to me, when all of the young school girls were holding hands on the railway station getting ready & finally jumping off the station into the oncoming train. Each one too had a smile on their faces. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review william d Interesting concept, but I knew going in that it would be difficult to come up with a credible reason why so many people would start killing themselves. In my opinion the film makers failed to meet the challenge. I was intrigued for most of the movie, but the last twenty minutes or so were a disappointment.
