All Style No Substance
Japan's attempt at an A24-style film, tries to provide the viewer with as little information as possible. It leaves the viewer feeling lost, forcing them to play catch-up throughout the entire film. The lack of well-written characters makes you lose interest rather quickly, as you're simply observing a series of non-sequitur events happening with no context. This approach makes the 90-minute runtime feel much longer, and the ending, which resolves little, ultimately leads to a non-recommendation.
