The story, the conflict and the tragedy are good, but the plot is a little bit slow for my taste, at the first at least. What I love in this movie is the tragedy at Kippei's past. I never guess that he have a tragedy like that, I thought that he really a bad guy who like to deceive a woman.
What I didn't agree is that they lived together for 5 years and the parents didn't even met Kippei (-__-)

A nice, value driven Japanese modern story
Deep, profound and troubling, like any Japanese movie. Luckily it has a good ending, and that really satisfied me a lot.The script is nice, a story that shows once again how little we really know about the people close to us, even the ones that we have lived with for some time.
Acting is good, as usual in such serious movies ( compared with dramas which are usually quite light).
Takahashi Issei is one actor that I really like, his acting is impeccable as always. I liked as well the main female lead, and of course Yoshida Kotaro, which always makes a great character.
Overall, I really loved the movie…it is a bless to alternate Japanese movie with Korean ( very melodramatic and making you cry), Chinese ( light and funny usually, leaving you with a good feeling) and taiwanese ( very light and sometimes a bit boring).
A really nice watch, I totally enjoyed it!!!

The acting was great
At first i was skeptical to watch this but it turned out great, the female lead made me cringe a bit but later on i warmed up to her. The ML nailed it the misery he's been through was well expressed in his case he was flawless.The movie dived into many part of life and i think they should also have focused on her work a bit more atleast to tell us the aftermath after her position shifted. I was scared for a moment, almost cried at the end of the movie too, i can definitely watch this again but not more than twice or so.... I start to hate movies when i rewatch .
