The pacing has a slow burn quality, allowing the viewer to immerse fully into the struggles depicted. The performances, though perhaps from lesser-known actors, carry an authenticity that resonates deeply. What stands out is the practical effects used in some of the more intense scenes, adding a layer of realism. It’s not a film for everyone, but for those interested in the depths of human emotion, it offers a unique Japanese touch.
