Igai to shinanai is a quirky comedy that really captures the frustrations of a teacher, Tsukiko, who's at the end of her rope. The atmosphere is a bit dark, especially considering her disillusionment with just about everyone around her. The pacing feels like a slow burn, allowing moments of absurdity to arise naturally, which is both refreshing and a bit disorienting. What stands out here are the practical effects used in some scenes, adding a unique touch that feels grounded despite the comedic absurdities. The performances have this raw edge, especially from the lead, making her cynicism relatable yet humorous. It’s an odd little gem that sticks with you for its offbeat charm and honest portrayal of the burdens teachers face.
