Having or not having a spouse, children, or a job. Women today have the "freedom to choose the lives they want"; and yet, they are divided by various social factors. The main character is Momoko, who quits her job upon marriage but a misfortune leaves her childless. Then her husband (Mamoru) has an affair with a younger woman (Nao) and demands a divorce. Learning that she now has no place in her home nor the society, Momoko feels lost and starts showing abnormal behaviors. While Mamoru and his mother (Teruko) are bewildered by Momoko acting strange, there are also fair and unbiased eyes watching her from an unexpected place. Feeling stressed because no one around her sees her worth; and the fear of losing her place grows when her family and the society reject her. The story follows Momoko's journey through despair and hope.

Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Japanese filmmakers have so perfected the melodrama that, even when the film is far less than perfect, it still manages to be incredibly affecting. Such is the case with Yukihiro Morigaki’s intense breakup film “Rude to Love.” Jul 11, 2024 Full Review James Hadfield Japan Times Eguchi’s brittle, darkly funny performance is so compelling that the story’s mystery elements — including an incriminating social media account that Momoko keeps obsessively checking — can feel like contrivances.
