I enjoyed this movie. No big story but the entire movie is about the two characters. We were invited into their lives during the duration of the movie. Worth checking for sure! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review phyllis t Excellent film in every way... The awkwardness between cultures was carefully and skillfully portrayed by the scrip and two actors. Toni was brilliant. Myself as an American having working in neisi..Japanese American culture for 10 years I was very impressed with the awkwardness portrayed. The sensitivity of the wife toward Toni thru the pictures was very touching and such a tribute to Japanese culture. The character of Toni was forever changed and a scene at the end was evident in her new relationship with her mother to whom she gave the address of the wife. Good photography and much silence and little dialogue was excellent. Amazing film directed and written by women. Excellent Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest Japanese-American love story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant moving unexpected Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member At first glance, Sue Brooks' Japanese Story appears to be an infusion of genre stories: man versus nature, a road trip, and a mismatched romance. However, while there are elements of each ingredient in the movie, Brooks and screenwriter Alison Tilson want the finished product to be a deeper and richer mixture than one might anticipate from considering its parts. In fact, this is not an outback adventure story, but a character piece. Japanese Story looks at isolation and the fragility of human relationships. It's a poignant, unsettling motion picture that will baffle those who have become used to Hollywood's compact, tidy endings. This Australian indie should be on your watchlist.(A fascinating tale on the outback). Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member May I just say I have never seen anything like this. Not much dialogues, not much verbal communications, everything was said through actors' expressions, especially their eyes. I love the soundtracks! It made me cry. I wish the guy didnt die, yet, I don't know if the movie will be as deep and touching as it is, if he didnt. Th death was totally unexpected for a rom-com. I loved how this couples are opposites attract. I don't like that the guy is married and never told her.Great cast, great acting, not too sincere when it comes to language corrections or English teachings. All the other bird view shots, the shots during their sex scenes are beautiful! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
