    This movie is AMAZING . Its unique. I was on my toes for the entire movie , there wasn't a moment I was bored .
    Everything was just great .
    At first I wasn't sure that It was going to be good because most of the cast was under 17 years old . But they did an amazing job .
    They did suck a good job of portraying the characters I was scared of them while watching the movie.
    It very emotional as well I wanted cry half way through
    It so good it made on UK TV !
    ITS a must WATCH !!

    I am speechless. I can't even express how I feel. This whole movie was a mind game, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many events, so many lives, but one purpose. I wish to write something as dark and meaningful like this someday.

    I doubted that I would like this movie at first. The dialogue in the first scene was long. But I came to understand it was important. I don't regret the stubbornness I had to sit through that particular scene. Then came the confessions. Just...wow! What a brilliant scheme! This was a really clever one.

    The music was very good and it achieved the desired effect. Even added an artistic tinge.

    The characters were very well portrayed. I even sympathized with the worst of

Make a Recommendation More recs.Recommendations

  • They both explore extreme, yet plausible, situations spawning from deficiencies in social relationships through the lens of youth. As I remember them, Confessions has less gore than Noriko\'s Dinner Table, but is still not for the faint of heart. Confessions may be just a tiny bit more cerebral.

  • Both stories confront the concept of childhood innocence and the psychology behind acts of cruelty committed by children.

    Kaoru Fujiwara's the name of the actor who played Naoki. I think he did a good job just as Nishii Yukito. :>
    This is a nice movie.

    this movie is just so psycho sick.. I don´t have any words how sick it is.
    I don´t understand why the movie is so highly praised.
    Personally for me, this was the most bad japanese movie I´ve ever seen and there was nothing which left an impression of me.
    Well, I guess that such kind of dark thriller stuff is nothing for me, so yeah, I didn´t like it at all.
    Honestly, watching this was just a waste of my time.

    That was one of the craziest and darkest and cinematically genius movies I've ever seen! How am I supposed to get back to normal life now? Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts, Michael.

    This is one of the best movies I've ever seen O: I don't usually like to re-watch movies, but I would totally watch this one over and over again.
