I watched this movie with my friend and sister and we came to agree that the trailer was misleading. We saw the trailer for this movie and thought it would be awesome and when we finally saw it it seemed to be more suspense than horror. We had to wait a long time for the action to start. The actors did a very good job with the crappy story and ridiculous excuse for horror. I would never watch this movie again. I think the only reason we finished the movie was because we had invested so much time into it that it was too late to stop. I am not saying do not watch it but if you don't watch it you will live. It is not worth watching in my opinion but if you want find out for yourself and don't say I didn't warn you!

This drama is about a 20 year old woman with the mental capacity of a 7 year old. She ends up bumping into a guy who she falls in love with and thinks is her prince charming. The guy thinks she is cute and in the beginning fails to notice that she is mentally slow.

This story is very original with the main characters' relationship as only a part of the much bigger story. First and foremost it's a coming of age drama about a woman who is a self proclaim late bloomer.

This movie is great to watch and I highly recommend it if someone wants to watch a good story without devoting hours to a long drama. Overall I give this movie an 8 and I will defiantly re-watch.

I was a little hesitant to watch it at first, because when I read the summary i thought it would have a really cheap and shallow plot, oh boy was I wrong.
I got a bit confused at first, but then everything became clear as it went on, with a cleary good acting, it really deserves to be re-watched.
It's really good and captivating
The characters are really well chosen, and the landscapes and places are really beautifull.
The soundtrack was pretty but could have been better in a way.
As expected from this kind of movie, it has a sad and glommy moment, you'll probably see yourself crying in some parts, but of course there's always some cosy moments that warm your heart.

Story: Death might not seem like an original plotline, for me it isn't, but the idea of doing a movie based on a "nokanshi"'s work seemed pretty interesting to me. I had never seen anyone do something like that. And It was, particularly, interesting to see the way they are viewed by friends and family.

Acting: I really liked the acting. The initial reactions everyone had, the way people mourned. I've never seen a "nokanshi" work, but the way the actors gave life to the ritual in those scenes through the movement of their hands, and body in general, made it look like art. It was beautiful and I felt fascinated by all of it.

The way the movie closed was also touching and beautiful.

Music: The music was excellent. It created the right atmosphere by intensifying the feelings and actions the actors were portraying or by creating a calm atmosphere when needed. It never felt like it didn't belonged.

One thing you should know before starting this movie is that it's not a terribly exciting like those with lots of action sequences. It has a slow kind of pace, but it's over before you know it because of the way the story flows and the way the music helps that flow. It also has a few minor comedic scenes tossed in there. I'm sure I'll eventually re-watch it.
