Audience Member It doesn't take a teen-ager to be able to relate. Even old people still play roles. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Ichikawa Jun's move. His movie always fills one kind to be tranquil and warm. "How to Become Myself" is a simple story, but really wonderful. Blue and joyful puberty always make person feeling so much. OK, Narumi Riko is a pretty girl. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member How to become myself and how to become someone else for other... Are we doing same thing??? Let's be ourself.... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Many may find this film is boring. In contrary, I think it is a well made one. The slow pace and the beautifully arranged scenes build up the sentiment of the characters which is the main point of this film. The two main characters were acted nicely. Especially the acting from Narumi Riko. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member There are two reasons to watch this movie, assuming of course that flicks about teen angst aren't off limits. The first reason is Riko Narumi. She's got looks, talent, and a maturity beyond her age which should protect her from catching disposable idol syndrome. She's got the skill to bring us inside the film and not question the all to common premise of how the best looking and smartest girl in class, who's from a well to do but unassuming family, can be an introverted social outcast. Her parents fight a little and that's what's got her down. It isn't until the second act, when the class prize loses her social standing allowing Narumi's character to sweep in and relate, that we become engaged and the film picks up its rhythm. And it does it through film technique more than simple storytelling. The second reason to enjoy this film is the creative way director Jun Ichikawa has put the package together. He uses fades and split screens and shots about nothing all in the service of a poetic rhythm that carries the viewer from start to finish. <a href='http://sitenoise-atthemovies.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-create-myself-of-tomorrow-ashita.html' target='_blank'>sitenoise at the movies: How to Create Myself of Tomorrow</a> Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting and meaningful story including growth and life but not only love.
