First half was awesome, the director Sono is famous for wacky stories, but the first part wasnt so wacky and seemed like it was going to be character driven masterpiece but it just disappoints. I think the director got confused. Wasted the potential, too many unanswered questions. It is definitely still a great watch, its a self reflecting story that tried to answer the questions that it asked but failed miserably at giving adequate answers in my opinion. Still worth watching.
