#HandoZenryoku (2020)

#HandoZenryoku: Directed by Daigo Matsui. With Seishirô Katô, Kotaro Daigo, Ryôta Bandô, Haruka Imô. The school’s handball club is about to close down. Can social media bring it back to life? Masao Kiyota is a high school student living in Japan’s southern Kumamoto Prefecture.

“When you set aside the absolute havoc that social media has wreaked on the actual social skills of an entire generation, itu0026#39;s incorporated pretty well into this movie about a group of high school boys who are trying to re-popularize their schoolu0026#39;s handball team by posting cool handball images online using their smartphones. Itu0026#39;s a light comedy-drama with some funny moments and it does somewhat critique the emptiness of doing things just for likes from strangers on the internet. There isnu0026#39;t too much going on storywise however and the characters arenu0026#39;t all too interesting and memorable either so I would say itu0026#39;s an okay watch, but you probably wonu0026#39;t watch it a second time.”
