An extremely well-written, emotionally complex coming-of-age tale that has a John Hughesian respect for teenage angst.

Director Nobuhiro Yamashita seems to be aiming for a laconic deadpan tone, yet the static camera work and even-keel pacing elicit more yawns than chuckles.

It’s the kind of high-school movie about kids and music that Hollywood would never be able to capture with such intimacy, nuance and restraint.

An understated and disarmingly human tale of an all-girl band in the runup to the annual rock festival at the members' school.

The film exhorts a sense of nostalgia for the stressful trials of youth.
