I really liked this movie,
If by chance you're worried this is some type of Japanese Hollywood spin-off cliché' movie - I'd say it's actually quite a ways away - like in another planet from that, so no worries there.
In fact it was so un-typical, un-what I would normally expect - all the way to the very end - that it was shocking to me.
I really appreciated that quite a bit about this movie - certainly a unique journey for sure. They way they set it up - felt like an elaborate set up from one minute to the next.
If there's some type of moralistic or main message in this movie - good luck pinning it down and figuring it out. (as far as I'm concerned, that's a great thing!)
I watch a ton of movies - including tons of out there ones (mostly actually). This one certainly stands on it's own. Like another reviewer said - you've got a full range here. I found myself laughing out- loud from the extreme absurdity - and then truly depressed/almost going straight from one to the other - and then everywhere else in the same fashion.
If you're looking for comedy and light hearted laughs and that's it - I would suggest skipping this one. This one's pretty intense, and in my opinion extremely realistic somehow.
At the same time I'd say don't expect too much - I'm going on and on but it's not some ground breaking/earth shattering flick - it's just it's own thing.
If you're looking for something different, unique, you like quirky humor, can handle movies that show really serious subject matter, and maybe if you're a shut-in and feel like taking a break from the noise even - I'd say give this one a try. It might be the new rare gem you've been looking for - even if you're having a hard time really knowing what you actually think about this movie afterwards - like I am right now.
Good luck! haha :)
