“I went into this movie (like all movies) with no expectations and even at the end when the credits were rolling I really wanted to like this movie but there were just some things in this film that didnu0026#39;t sit right with me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWithout giving anything away, the director has a very heavy-handed approach in trying to illicit an emotional response from the viewer. Loud rock music and forced tears coupled with over-dramatic situations leaves some of the scenes feeling out of place and out of sync with the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe lead Character Ai feels entirely two-dimensional throughout the film. Even through two confessions, she doesnu0026#39;t feel fully developed. A plot driven movie this is not which leaves everything in the hands of its performers and the performers are not able to fully keep it all together.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film was an enjoyable little experience but you wonu0026#39;t be walking away feeling something significant.”
