Drugstore Girl is a quirky, offbeat romance-comedy with a unique charm. The film explores themes of heartbreak and self-discovery through the eyes of Keiko, played with a delightful mix of vulnerability and resilience. The pacing has this lovely ebb and flow, capturing the awkwardness of youth and the serendipity of new beginnings. You get a real sense of the town of Masao, a character in its own right, with its small-town vibe and eccentric residents. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the interactions and dialogue, which feel authentic and relatable. It's that blend of humor and heart that makes it stand out, along with a soundtrack that complements the film's whimsical tone.
