Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

The director has listed Jean-Luc Godard as an influence, which explains the movie's French New Wave exuberance. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

The portrayals by the fetching Ms. Yoshikawa and Mr. Takeda are consistently absorbing, and Mr. Limosin's plotting, though essentially gimmicky and manipulative, packs mystery and tension. Read full review

Reece Pendleton

The film may never fully attain the emotional resonance it seems to be striving for, but it's still an accomplished and interesting piece of work. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Resembles the giggly teen romances that saturate the Japanese market with a coolly alienated French twist. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

This amped-up Japanese thriller is a fairly diverting tale of romantic and cultural alienation. Read full review

Derek Elley

Brings nothing new to the table, and spends far too long making the audience think it will. Read full review

Jacob Blecher

Doesn't so much titillate as irritate. Read full review
