Audience Member This film has a Kafkaesque quality to it. Absurdity mixed with surrealism. A dark comedy. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the stronger directorial debuts in Asian cinema in recent years. Kantai's story is very ambiguous, but it's most resonant in it's scenes, which include intelligent observations on culture clashing, as well as rather stunning character interactions. It certainly isn't the most exciting or meditative film, but it proves that Koji Fukada is an inspired director, and one who is likely to only improve. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member great little comedy. wonderful facial expressions and nice twists. clah of cultures and secrets exposed. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A family that runs a print shop finds it impossible to say no to an interloper who invites himself, then his wife, then his "extended family" to stay in their cramped house, all the while exposing his hosts' dark secrets. This satire of Japanese politeness and xenophobia is well made but doesn't travel particularly well. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member nicely understated, although gets a bit silly at the end Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an adoring little film of what might happen if Tommy Chong decided to live with you after he had semi cleaned up his act. What starts out as a simple family drama quickly turns into a crazy dramedy as Mikio starts losing control to Kagawa who is clearly the dominant person. By the end all hell is breaking loose and there are more characters on screen than you have fingers and toes to count them with.
