In Japan, Margaret (Alexandra Daddario) is a Lost Girl. A Japanese man approaches her from behind. She asks him to go to a Love Hotel. She's an English teacher at an all-girls school. She's a mess, having many one night stands. She is taken with Kazu, a yakuza gangster.
This is basically Secretary and Lost in Translation. There is nothing wrong with that but this one doesn't take the material to the next level. The yakuza gangster needs to do some gangster stuff for him to be interesting. The movie talks about flowers and losing a finger. It needs to get to the finger part. Margaret tells the audience that this is not a happy ending. That's B. S. This movie deserves a brutal ending but it does something very convenient and as happy as this is reasonably capable. It feels aimless like Margaret is in the movie.
