Legend of the Doll

About This Movie

So, 'Legend of the Doll' is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that really captures the essence of being a collector. The pacing is sort of meandering, which fits the vibe of Ryouta as he navigates his highs and lows. There's this playful yet somber tone throughout – you can feel his frustration when that prized doll gets swiped. The practical effects are minimal but charming, really grounding the story. And Ryouta's journey into that back-alley shop is almost like a metaphor for the unexpected turns in collecting. It feels personal, like you’re right there with him, experiencing both the thrill of the hunt and the despair of loss. It's not flashy, but it resonates, you know?
