Audience Member Movie was really sad. Was a really good watch... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Kevin L A lovely meditation on loneliness by the brilliant Kore-eda, "Air Doll" deals with themes of what makes us human, aging and mortality, and how we fill the void when we lose those we care for. We can be detached, cold automatons. Or we can 'find a heart' and become whole. This is what happens, magically, to the sex doll Nozomi. But ultimately, it is a charade of sorts; it's a skin deep exercise that will end like so much unburnable trash. A very affecting lead performance by Bae Doona. Iura as Nozomi's kind love interest, and Itao as her lonely 'owner' give strong performances as well. And interesting approach to these themes, the film has a bit too much of a quirky, loosely written quality to it. More of a minor work, but certainly with its own merit within the director's work. 3.3 stars Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Nunn Y This was my first Koreeda movie(I’d seen his work in the Makanai). Being this story is about a pleasure doll I never imagined it would be quirky, touching, or somewhat dark. Bae Fiona really bodies her role as Nozomi and brings you along in her fairy tale. After watching this movie, I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and want to watch every Koreeda film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Sam F Criminally underrated, superbly filmed tragic fairy tale of a sex doll who grows a heart and briefly witnesses the pain of being alive. Surely not meant for action junkies, every shot in this movie exudes poetry such as only today's masters of Japanese cinema can create. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review matthias s "Air Doll" delivers a cinematic rollercoaster with its really weird yet captivating plot. Bae Doona's portrayal of a doll coming to life is remarkably convincing, seamlessly blending innocence with a touch of eerie realism. The soundtrack acts as a magical brush, sketching the mood of the film as if it's a real-life fairytale, enhancing the overall experience. The plot kicks off immediately, a refreshing pace that hooks you from the start. Filled with a mix of beautiful and sad moments, the film explores the profound complexity of existence. The director skillfully weaves a devastating twist at the end, leaving audiences with lingering emotions and a newfound appreciation for the unconventional narrative. "Air Doll" is a unique cinematic journey that challenges expectations, offering a surreal yet touching exploration of life's intricacies.
