Renly Sep 11 2020 8:45 pm One of the best Asian movies I've ever seen.

Rodger Parker Aug 15 2020 10:28 am A very powerful storyline and superb performances but nearly ruined by a dreadful soundtrack that seemed quite incongruous.

Glyn Ne Lein Jun 29 2018 2:30 am Okay na film is good but leaving me that kind of ending is not very good at all! Well, shout out to the casts, writer, director, etc. for the INTENSE mooooovviiiieeeee EVEEEEEEEEeeerrrr!! ?

tsuyoi_hikari Jun 18 2018 9:56 pm 8/10 - Interesting movie about how suspicion can destroy yours and your loved ones' lives. The story deals with prejudices and regrets and it all comes together perfectly in this tiny movie in 3 different interconnected stories. I thought Tsumabuki Satoshi looked the most attractive he ever been in here.

Clear Apr 25 2018 5:46 pm the cast are amazing, and the acting are superb too. some of the dialogues really hits me. every characters make me care for them. though this is more like slice of life/drama movie than a thriller that the synopsis / premise offered. I do find myself immersed in the story of each sub-plots, and while guessing (there are several clues given but you might be not really care about it, until it reached the middle), I also hope a certain character to be not the killer lol, fortunately he isn't. if you want a movie that's entertaining, it really depends about what you find entertaining, but really, it isn't a movie that'll give you a good feeling. beware of certain scenes though, trigger warning is applied. There are some things that are easy to guess, but overall it's an excellent movie.

Aoi Oct 31 2017 3:26 pm This is one of the best movies I have watched. 10/10. It brought me to tears. Excellent performance from all actor ken Watanabe, satoshi, ayano, aoi, kenichi, etc. Superb. It kept me engrossed. Please watch it.

Jay Quintana Jun 08 2017 3:29 am Excellent movie. But don't watch this if you want to feel good about humanity.

Satoshi HOT Apr 07 2017 3:26 am This is a great film! Satoshi shows his pubic hair here, and he humps his dick on another actor!
