This movie had so much going on and tried to back it up by making it "edgy".
It starts off with a solid plot: girl becomes personal servant of childhood bully, crush moves back into the apartment complex. But then they throw in a weird subplot with the sister and Subaru, who was pretty much useless. A lot of NOTHING happens in this movie. Things start and end, no middle. The actors lacked chemistry and there was no consistency or depth to the plot. The dynamic between the leads was ok, but they barely go into them enough to sense the connection between them until the end when they run together, confessing all their thoughts which isn't enough. The music is a bit inappropriate and makes it hard to take scenes seriously. But it adds to the overall "crazy becoming" vibe. The cinematography was cool. I like the unconventional editing, but it may not be for everyone. This plot and its subplot had potential, and they lost it. The girl was different from the manga, she wasn't ran all over and plain stupid and quiet like in the movie, but actually a bit humorous. This movie could have been a solid 7 but it was carried out so poorly, I'm being generous giving it a near 5.
