6/10: 3 for Meguro and 3 for Minami. I loved their banter and chemistry, but that's about it. This movie desperately tried to be moving and to turn on the waterworks, but left me cold. The plot also didn't flow very well... You can see the episodic nature of the novel it's based on
why go to therapy when you can go to the Toronto Japanese Film Festival, watch movies like this, cry a lot, and get catharsis? jokes aside, this was a very well made and moving. film; solid 9.5/10.
I didn't get to talk to the director himself during his Q&A and meet & greet at the film festival. but he was very polite and respectful & even let me take a picture with him!
