Normally, I prefer movies that take their time and allow the viewer to digest everything that is seen, heard and happening. However, there needs to be something to take one's time with. Here we get long pauses, people staring into space with blank expressions and dialogue that has "I'm sorry" in almost every conversation, sometimes more than once. As often as not, the dialogue ends with someone walking out/away leaving the conversation hanging.

This continues for 2 hours. There is a plot/story but it could have been handled in 30 minutes. Yes, that can be stretched out with some close-ups and some symbolic scenes and mood setting and certainly some character development but even that should amount to something.

The movie ends with us not knowing much more about the protagonists than we did at the beginning. We have two young Japanese lesbians with various problems and insecurities. One of them meets a female Iranian student and some complications and misunderstandings ensue. The pattern and results are predictable although not actually resolved.

I was curious about the concept behind the story but it really was a waste of time. Mercilessly stretching out a very thin script and very little content of any kind does not equal art or entertainment.

Thee storyline really made it for me. Being a huge fan of horror films, I might come off as a little biased, but in a nutshell, this film takes the right turn. Keeping an eye on this director is something you do because the future is Bright for this one. This movie is daring, risk-taking, and provides dark impact for filming experience to the viewer. This is one of those films that I would consider a complete package because the directing production, the acting even the cinematic shots, they all fit perfectly. I definitely recommend this film because it's new its storyline is creative and the finished product is meaningful. This film for sure gets two thumbs up.
