Midori

About This Movie

Midori offers a raw and gritty look into adolescence, capturing that confusing mix of isolation and desire. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the audience to really sink into the protagonist's emotional landscape. The practical effects, though sparse, effectively enhance the surreal moments that punctuate her journey. What stands out is the atmosphere; it's dense, almost claustrophobic, reflecting the pressures of high school life. Performances are strikingly authentic, particularly the lead's portrayal of an emotionally detached girl navigating familial strife and her own awakening. There’s a certain discomfort to the story that’s engaging, making it a distinctive entry in the drama genre.
