A very slow movie that gets better then starts to get slow again. There are a few good moments in the film but they tend to be overshadowed by some of more comical moments. I actually liked the characters but I felt like they were wasted do to poor direction and script. I felt like there could have been more romantic feelings between Ichito Kuriharai and Haruna Kuriharai. But I understand why they didn't add more of it, I do appreciate some of what the movie was trying to say. Its a slow movie but if you have nothing to do then its the perfect movie for you.
1.8/5
