Audience Member "Her matured mucous membrane uncontrollably..." lol. Should have been funnier (the humor may have been lost in translation tho.) ROsugi of Uzumaki & Shikoku, stars. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't think this would be funny if it were an English language movie. Part of its charm is feeling like a foreigner watching a Japanese film. Much of the humor is surely lost in translation but some of the translations take on a humor of their own. Often it feels like the words are too blunt and some subtlety of language is being missed, while other times it seems words are forced together in a strange combination to try and convey different shades of something not literally translatable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member long take. camerawork ++. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This starts out as a mildly amusing sex comedy, for which I'll admit I had low expectations, but it then becomes surprisingly insightful with its perspective on sexual dominance and submission, and real human behavior and emotions. The two leads deliver complex performances that are very believable. It certainly could have gone deeper, especially at the end, and it's not as erotic as the title seems to suggest, but for fans of the subject matter or anyone curious it's definitely worth watching.
