At times it's too schematic for its own good, but there's a musical quality which harmonises the script's rockier edges, and the use of diegetic song is powerful and engaging.

While the images chosen by the Japanese arthouse director Naomi Kawase are exquisite and arresting, the narrative is a dull, New Age meander.
July 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
This Japanese teen love story from Naomi Kawase is mired in emo histrionics and limp drama.
July 2, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
While beautiful, early scenes of shocking violence give way to philosophising and gauche symbolism.
June 29, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Enigmatic, exotic, erotic: three adjectives commonly bandied about in discussion about Naomi Kawase's films. Not for her latest outing, though.

It's clear that Japanese director Naomi Kawase has poured her heart and soul into every frame of this wishy-washy drama... That makes it all the more depressing that the end results are so resoundingly uninvolving and off-putting.
