Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "Hot Gimmick: Girl Meets Boy" begins as an interesting film, remains visually impressive until the finale, but in the end, lacks substance, at least for the majority of its 119 minutes. Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography With her visual and vocal poetics, U-ki Yamato offers a powerful evocation of the importance for the subject to assume his own subjective position to desire from. Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Disturbing bullying in bizarre Japanese melodrama. Rated: 2/5 Jan 16, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider It's two hours long, repetitive, emotionally impenetrable, irritating, written by someone who can't find a synonym for "cute," incomprehensible and edited by Screwy Squirrel with a power chisel.

Kent I Awful. If I could give negative stars, I would. I want to personally fight whoever wrote, shot, and edited this film. First of all, wtf is this plot. The plot is a love square where her love interests are a guy that's abusive, a guy that tries to roofie her, and her adoptive brother. Second of all, wtf is up with the jump cuts. I was borderline nauseated with the amount of jump cuts in every scene. The camera work was laughable. They couldn't even keep the subjects in frame and the director has never heard of wideshots. I could not stand the editing, it felt like they were trying to be different just to be different. Was the whole production crew on drugs? This film was an embarrassment and whoever greenlit it's should be excommunicated. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Audience Member I have literally never been so confused by a movie. The editing looks like it has been done by a 10 year old boy who just found out about instamfilters and just slabbed all of them on this. The story is horrible and conserning. They are trying to let us like some terrible person in the movie because somebody else is worse. That's not how that works. and they are trying to let us be okay with (kinda) incest, slavery, blackmailing, violence, sexual assault and just so much more. I hate literally all the characters in this movie. The guys were all trash or just creepy or both and the girl had no backbone what so ever. Don't watch this. Please i don't want anybody to suffer like i did. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Ive never watched a movie that was so bad that you're cringing at all the love interests. These characters choices make no sense and Stockholm syndrome is a real thing in this movie. But it's entertaining at least if you ignore the poor plot and bad camera switches. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member if I was a worm, this movie would still be the worst thing I've ever seen. Do worms have eyes? Do worms commit incest? Maybe. But this movie does. It made me so utterly horny becayauce the girl was so stupid all the time. I am horny for the wrong reasons, and those reasons are because of the intense dub step classical music remixes and the really fast and yet so close up cuts. This movie made me want to cry blood because my eyes are bleeding. This movie was all kinds of wrong, and they don't cancel resulting in the sexiest and worst movie I've ever seen. The zesty incesty brother rubs his whole arm in chocolate milk. The carrot top dude had the worst, most crunchy hair I've ever seen. The slave owner dude wanted to have a child with the girl while she was his slave and they're 17!!!!! They eat a weard rainbow bagel with sprinkles on it, how is this real :((((( Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is not for superficial people Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Literally one of the worst and most confusing movies I ever watched Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
