Water Mar 18 2022 12:03 pm Only Japan has right to make movies like this and instead of judging "weird" we'd tend to say "oh it's Japanese movie that's why"

Maiko Jan 29 2022 10:31 am Loved it. Loved the cinematography and editing. Loved the acting. Kyoko was very cute and funny, but Anna totally stole the show. No wonder she won all those awards.
