andrea C @Charst 13h Film coraggioso, molto ben eseguito nelle dinamiche che seguono il suo protagonista che, grazie alla meravigliosa performance del giovane Hruki Mochizuki che sorprende per la capacità di interpretare un personaggio complesso e con tantissimo spazio davanti allo schermo. Purtroppo non si può dire lo stesso del secondo protagonista, il tormentato medico invece viene molto trascurato ed in ogni sua sequenza non è chiaro il suo modo di comportarsi e tantomeno i suoi sentimenti; purtroppo il film risente di questa mancanza limitandosi ad essere una bandiera di successo lgbtq senza diventare un dramma universale. Le seppur poche sequenze di musical non sono sempre inerenti ed il finale perde un po' di potenza emotiva perchè viene spiegato in maniera trroppo sbrigativa rispetto ad altri passaggi. Comunque un bel prodotto con una performance veramente notevole. See more janjetfrancyz b @readyJETGo Feb 15 This movie is a masterpiece. A balance mix of fantasy and reality of how life really works. The message was clear and the way they creatively portray and shows the fnatasy side of life is amazing. As cliche as it sounds problems like these still exist. See more billy j @billy911 Feb 14 What an "I" opener into the life of this woman and Dr and community. I was forced into watching this movie and let me tell you, I loved it. I loved the characters and it was so genuine and heart felt. If all movies in this genre was done as well as this movie, many more people would understand this community. Bravo to the actors and director. See more Read all reviews
