#IWillTellYoutheTruth (2025)

#真相をお話しします - Review (with spoilers)

I watched this movie, and what caught my attention right away was seeing Oomori-san acting, so I really wanted to watch it. I saw the trailers, and I thought I had a general idea of what the movie would be about, but when I actually saw it, it turned out to be quite different. I feel like it’s more of a test for the anonymous viewer—what would you do if all your personal information were exposed, or if you had to choose to kill someone? That’s what the movie is about: would you rather have your life exposed, or let someone else die?

The film explores cases where people share their experiences and expose others from behind anonymity. There’s also the main case in the movie, where parents make videos about their children’s lives (which really happens in real life), showing how, when taken to the extreme, it can lead to death.

But in the end, I was left thinking, “Is that really all there is to the story?” It makes sense to leave it open and ask the viewer what they would do, but I feel like neither the writer nor I could come up with an ending where things turn out well—it would be more of a social experiment. It actually reminds me of the drama where Suda Masaki plays a teacher.

Overall, Oomori-san’s performance surprised me, but I wish he had more screen time. The movie has a clear idea and conveys it well, but I feel it ends a bit unfinished—still, it’s entertaining.

What's wrong with the ending?????

Watched this on a plane with zero context. The movie itself mixes multiple mystery stories together with twists, social media commentary, secret documentaries, murder cases, and some really tense moments. I actually enjoyed few stories a lot because they were suspenseful and kept introducing interesting reveals, especially the island kids storyline. The anthology format was fun at first, even if it made the movie feel longer than it needed to be.

But near the end, things kinda went off the rails 😭 The final act tried way too hard to be deep and preachy, and instead of tying everything together smoothly, it just became messy and confusing. The open ending felt abrupt. Idk what were they trying to do, but it did not work like that....
