RIDE OR DIE

When I saw the trailer on netflix, I knew I had to watch it.

The story seemed interesting and it was worth it. I like psychological dramas and even more so when it's a bit psycho. I have to say that the story was as crazy as the two main heroines. I appreciated that it had a quick start going on. It may be a little confusing at first, but gradually it makes sense. It's a nice but also sad story of two girls who are coming to a tragic end based on their decisions. Their relationship, if we may call it like that, was not healthy and the ending is depressing. Some will say it's toxic others will like it probably. Although the film is over two hours long, I definitely didn't find it boring. It was a roller coaster of mixed feelings, but still touching. I knew from the beginning that the girls would not have a happy ending. Despite maybe I would like to know little more details, I liked the last shot of the end. It just gave me that "manga / anime" vibe.

I think the acting was very well managed. The cast suited the roles and it looked real. I liked the most Mizuhara Kiko as Rei. She is so beautiful and her red hair matched her role in the movie. But not just it, she also played it very well, her crazy laughter and tearful scenes. Right into the feels.

Music was fine. The song "cherry" or something like that fits so well in the story with the lyrics. I liked how it in two different scenes sounded first cheerful and at the end so devastating.

I wouldn't have a problem watching the movie again.

CONCLUSION: If you like this style of movie with sad ending and the theme of girly love, I recommend. Even though you may not be a supporter, I think it's definitely worth a look. This film deserves more viewers, but again it's not story for everyone. The end almost brought me to tears, even though what they did was not right.
