Messed up... but too safe!
I had no expectations whatsoever about the movies, didn't even read the synopsis very well when I started watching but it caught my attention from the get go. Kitagawa looked so good in that bob she was glowing. But... that's not the point here!The story starts so well, the progress is compelling and the backstory of Kanna makes you feel all kinds of sick and nauseated but what I am disappointed with the most is the backstory of Yuki (Kitagawa Keiko). The movie makes a big deal about her trauma and what not, plus Kitagawa acting the PTSD scenes was so heartbreaking and sad that when they reveal the backstory it just falls apart, and feels pretty flat. Maybe I am too used to messed up things but the whole shebang was played too safe.
One thing that was great about this movies is the atmosphere, although it's sick and twisted there's some nostalgic undertone to it, the flashbacks to the Yuki and Kasho's life along with the backtrack music was the highlight for me.
All in all, it's a good movie, although there were let downs it wasn't a totally bad.
