Absolutely brilliant
The first must-see film of the year.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
A very simple story of two people annoyingly dragged. Characters not defined in entirety. The director seems to have missed the plot in the beginning only to move around rather cluelessly till the end.
Everyone was talking about this movie so I watched it with high expectations. Actually I can't say that it wasn't worth watching but It's not a must-watch movie like everbody say. The story is trying to make us to think about the life, loneliness, relationships but the movie wasn't enough for it. It wasn't that deep to make us think about these beautiful things. The movie was little shallow.
I bought this movie from Goodwill and two bucks and that is all it is worth. The movie just drags on and on. There are some nice visuals of the Tokyo night life but I didn't feel any connection with Bill Murray or Scarlet Johannson or any of the Japanese characters. Just a boring movie about a bored movie star. I kept fast forwarding through the movie hoping it would have some redeeming qualities, but no.
It's a movie that brings you in a pace that makes you feel your in there. It's natural the way the feeling develop between the caracters, and you feel very attached to them and to what happens in there. It's a noble thing we find in this movie, that is relate to the feelings involved in a very personal, simple way. Few movies in "hollywodian" market, express a relation between characters in such a profound, "we could be them", manner. For me, i am profoundly grateful for watching such a great film, that shows really humans beings, with its profound aspects and seekings. It shows the characters as they are used to be shown, without all the hollywood plastics. As they are humans, we connect to them.
