Don Willmott Filmcritic.com I don't think I'll ever forget the weird imagery of him making his way along the snow-blasted streets of his miserable town while an eerily slow electronic version of the French Can-Can song plays on the soundtrack. Rated: 4/5 Mar 9, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not bad but not his best work yet it was still worth it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the german reviewer said it best "a boring Japanese film about a boring Japanese family." I would add that I am losing faith in asian films that aren't action or horror. I was hoping for a hiroshima mon amour, I got a poorly produced film about nothing memorable. Lets hope it just all got lost in translation, because it was like one long joke without a punch line. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the german critic said it best "a boring japanese film about a boring japanese family." Seriously losing faith in asian films that aren't action or horror :( Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Ein langweiliger japanischer Film über eine langweilige japanische Familie. 2/5 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
