Audience Member This film provides a great insight of Japanese society as well as an emotional ride Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that good but the actress is really impressive and the story which is based on is very intriguing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It starts slow, but if you stick with it, it has a really profound ending. It's a small, low-budget film, so don't bash it on the film making. I thought they did an excellent job with it. I would have liked a little more explanation of the background situation. They focus entirely on the present and don't really explain the past. You have to do a little bit of investigating on your own to understand the situation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member strange movie about a girl who volunteers and gets abducted in Iraq, and returns to Japan to be outcasted by everyone around her. a former Palm D'or nominee... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting, gloomy, low budget ... another reminder of how alien Japanese culture can be ... they really need to lighten up ... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member When I see the cameraman's shadow on the lead's butt & the reflection of the camera in a window, I find it hard to take the film seriously, especially when these filming fails occur consecutively & could've easily been edited out. I did not need to watch Yuko walk up the stairs in four different angles, two of which were tainted with the real world. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
