Audience Member A charming movie with a beautiful backdrop and cultural quirks on full display, this movie feels almost nostalgic and does well to keep it's audience entertained despite its whimsical, sometimes uninvolving story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The premise of a debt collector taking a last walk across Tokyo to a police station where he will hand himself in for a horrible crime, accompanied only by a directionless young man recently in his debt, does give an interesting starting point for a comedy drama. The dialogue between the two, as they simply walk the beautifully filmed city, makes for an interesting core and their changing attitudes to each other are also wonderful to watch, even leading to a couple of rather touching moments. Unfortunately, the film colours this with side characters who are mostly left intriguing and yet under developed and opens up questions about the central characters which lead no where. Although Satoshi Miki makes a trademark of not trying to tie his stories up in unrealistically convenient Hollywood endings, many of the paths and side plots the film takes you down seem unforfilling when you look back at them. If nothing else though, Tenten (Adrift in Tokyo) paints a very honest and personal picture of the city whilst delivering some fantastically human dialogue that at least make it a very interesting watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and good story Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Being quirky doesn't necessarily mean funny, and so this is a light, harmless comedy/road movie - or a "walk movie" - that comes up with potentially funny situations but doesn't always know how to fully explore them or how to maintain a good focus during the second act. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A great movie, not short of great cinematography and leaves me with a feeling of wanting to see more.
