Girl's Blood

About This Movie

So, 'Girl's Blood' directed by Koichi Sakamoto has this gritty vibe, like it really digs into the underground fighting scene with a raw energy. The setting in an abandoned school in Roppongi creates this eerie atmosphere that's almost a character itself. Four girls, each with their own backstories, flesh out a tapestry of struggles and resilience. Satsuki’s journey with gender identity is particularly compelling, layered in with Chinatsu's escape from past trauma. The pacing keeps you engaged, mixing intense fight sequences with quieter moments of reflection. The practical effects during the fights can be pretty visceral, and the performances—especially Yuria Haga—give it an edge that feels authentic, if not sometimes over-the-top. It's a unique blend of action and drama that doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of its characters’ lives.
