I stopped watching 40 minutes in…
I understand other people enjoyed this movie, I did not. I'm sorry if this bothers you but it’s my opinion. To elaborate, I think the story of a group of people dealing with life after the devastating earth quake and tsunami has great potential.
The story, in short, features a boy trying to make a living form himself, he is stuck in a dysfunctional family and harassed/supported (depending on who's perspective) by a girl in a similar situation.
unfortunately, the story telling doesn't quite make this movie stand out, as it really should in my opinion. because the 2011 tragedy really deserves a great movie dedicated to it.
However, this film is filled with people yelling at each other and it leaves no impact, in fact it becomes rather boring after a while. They also just keep throwing punches while they’re at it. the music could have been another superb element, regrettably, most of the sound you'll hear is a loud buzzing to signify some type of overwhelming, unease or omniscience.
The whole progression of the story feels incohesive and down right chaotic. I am leaving this low rating because to me this movie was unbearably bad. And I decide to watch it based on its rating and the story description in the first place. As I said, I stopped watching around 40 minutes in.
I think this movie is overrated on this website.
