Maggie Lee Variety Although its underlying attitudes about female sexuality might be problematic for female and feminist viewers, its suggestive subject matter (handled without offensive kinkiness) will set many an imaginative mind sprinting. Jul 15, 2020 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Yu Aoi and Issey Takahashi do not evade their responsibility and succeed in delivering one of the most moving relational metamorphoses of recent years. Jan 9, 2021 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Although [the film's climax] is presented as a grand romantic gesture, the reality is decidedly more creepy. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Here, the presence of a sex doll is oddly sex-less, instead a cautionary tale of artisanal obsession that damages human connection. The problem with this novel premise is that the film takes far too long to do anything truly interesting with it. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times [Yuki] Tanada, who wrote the script, uses her offbeat premise to examine fundamental human issues with insights sharp and compassionate, specific and poetic. Rated: 4/5 Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris P The movie starts out as a romantic comedy that I found hilarious. By the time the movie ends, it has become a serious romantic drama. Somehow, the absurd idea of marrying someone who creates sex dolls seems okay by the end of the movie, but I'm not sure why? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review georgan g A different kind of love story that's sweet & sad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
