Starting Over

About This Movie

Starting Over is a quiet, introspective piece set in Tokyo, where the weight of emotional baggage is palpable. The film revolves around Nana, who’s navigating her tumultuous feelings for her birth mother and Marin, the girl she loves. It’s a slow burn, really, allowing the audience to soak in her struggles and desires. The pacing is deliberate, which some might find meditative while others could feel it drags a bit. The cinematography captures the urban landscape with a somber beauty, reflecting Nana's inner turmoil. Performances are raw, especially in the tender moments of connection and confrontation. It’s not about grand gestures but rather the suffocating quiet of longing and the search for love in a world that seems indifferent. This film might resonate deeply with those familiar with the nuances of unrequited love and complex relationships.
