Storyline

- TriviaAfter the release of the film, Naomi Kawase dubbed it as her masterpiece.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, scenes from this film were originally shown to the BBFC for advice. The distributor was informed that one scene was likely to be in breach of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 and was therefore unlikely to be suitable for classification. When the film was submitted for formal classification, this scene had been cut.

Featured review
The film is great, Metacritic reviews expose Hollywood critics as buffoons
This review is not about the film but the crude American taste.
Whenever my cinema-savvy friends criticised Hollywood, I'd jokingly dismiss their arguments, saying I enjoy action-packed, fun films for afternoons and that Hollywood has great production. I stand corrected.
This film has been given a 5 by metacritic. Check out the reviews. They say silent moments are awkward.. or that stares are long... I had an epiphany that Americans and their layman critics have actually no appreciation for an actual good work when they see one. Everybody likes a big Mac but in no way it means you can slam a 5-michelin star cuisine.
I always acknowledged Hollywood films try to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It makes them fun to a point. But I realised today it's not just their audience that is unnaturally confused with junk, but apparently American select critics are actually the lowest common denominator.
P.S. IMDb will not be a universal source until it goes beyond Hollywood standards.
