⭐ Featured Review
Very interesting movie, but I wouldn´t recommend it to people who wan´t an easy movie to watch.
"Those who are interesting in psychology and theories about trauma and such are most likely going to like this movie, and of course you have to be ready for a little Japanese trippy stuff. I haven´t read the manga so can´t really compare the two but I was pleasantly surprised by this movie...."
