Audience Reviews for Gimmy Heaven (Synesthesia)

Wow, I'm not sure how I feel about this movie... It was just really messed up and even though it was creepy at parts, I felt like the entire mystery part of the story didn't come full circle. There were some parts that just didn't feel fully explained, but perhaps that's mostly because of the poor script. There are some really interesting ideas being executed (like the music/shapes and the videogames/trance etc.), but the poor script just makes everything really confusing.

Masanobu Ando is fucking fantastic though. His character death was executed flawlessly, and now we know that the guy can not only play scary creepy guy from "Battle Royale" with that crazed look in his eyes, but also this incredibly swoon-worthy and adorable boyish man, ahahah. Yes, I needed some explanation of how he met Mari before in a children's book. How does that make sense?

So all in all, the cast all put in fantastic performances and the story is unique enough, but the script just flops and makes you incredibly confused.

A unique idea for a thriller about deaths that revolve on a disorder in which a person would see things differently than a normal person would.
