Sometimes I do stumble on movies starring actors or actresses that I bloody can't stand. Unfortunately, Orange is that case. I'm not a fan of Tao Tsuchiya but I decided to give this movie a try because my cupcake baby boy Kento was in here. Let's say it straight: This movie can be barely watch because of Tao Tsuchiya terrible acting. I'm not saying it's her fault, I think that she was directed really bad. It was like watching an anime character, I really bad female character with that unpleasant and annoying voice that makes you want to slam your head over your keyboard. She portrayed that typical Japanese female character with a pure soul and and an high pitched voice. At some points she really pissed me off with this bloody annoying voice of her and those ridiculous gestures that made her character looked dumb and...... dumber. Can't get why she was so praised for this movie because she was really that only thing that spoiled it. Although the movie was way too long and sometimes there were some boring scenes to handle with, I think that the half part of it was really directed well. As I always say when I talk about Kento, he's only know for his beautiful face and most of the time his fans are just too biased when it comes to give a review or a score to his movies. In this case, I think he really deserved all the good things people said about his acting skills. Some crying scenes were really heartbreaking and his intonation ( I let's face the truth, most of the time his voice really lacks intonation) was so on point that I almost felt down off my chair. I still think that Kento really needs to improve his acting skills but damn, he really showed a glimpse of his real talent here. He really deserves better roles, dramatic ones I might say. The cinematography was brilliant, those pastel colours were on point with the sweetness of the plot. Talking about the plot. If you have read the manga or at least heard about it, you know that the main plot talks about depression. Kakeru is depressed, He's a teenage boy suffering from a depression caused by a really tragic happening. What I didn't like about the main plot was that thgey didn't actually showed this side of it. Although Kento has portrayed it perfectly ( his sad gaze, his low voice, how he changed from hype moments to really depressed ones) I do think that the mangaka didn't really understand how depression works. Kakeru is depressed and saving him with the power of friendship and with some positiveness looked I little bit odd to me. They cured it too fast and this has left me a little bit confused. But in the end I think that the mangaka wanted to make us think that even in those kinds of moments there's still hope to relay on. Talking about the cast, a really good one. I won't give this movie an high score just because of Tao, I'm so sorry to say it. I don't think I'm going to re-watch it but at least I was so happy to see that Kento is trying to kick his haters on their feet showing that he can actually be a good actor and not just an hot ikemen. Kento, my dear, now it's time to move on and pick some really good roles.
