Beautifuly twisted psychological bowl of soup

I have no idea why this movie took so long to watch, lol. But all in all its twisted but i liked it. Its like a soup full of teen mental cases that dont work together but somehow do. Some of the presentations of ideas were actually surprising and the story was so not predictable so i can safely say that i wasn't disappointed. It shows you just how many issues go on in our heads and tells it as it is without any sugar coatings which i really appreciate. The director needs a medal simply put. Its twisted and very psychological so if youre looking for something that will make your brain do a doubke take this is for you.
The movie doesnt really have character developement but im thinking that was the point because majority of the characters are shown merely with the results of their own self absorbed toxicity and if there was any character development at all it was morr of a lesson to them all to chill the heck down especially for Konnanzaki. He had the most development and that was it. The rest of the characters merely move on with living, and it makes sense because no matter what trauma you go through when the sun goes down and comes back up you just keep living by default.
Its a very meaningful and deep psychological movie that im very sure can be relatable to anyone who wants to watvh this. In a sense in these messed up characters you can actually seen yourself or some of youyour own habits in these characters.
