It was really worth it waiting almost a year for this movie what it seemed as another typical bullying movie ended up making me anxious because I can't wait to know who really killed the boy.
If you like school genre movies mixed with mistery and bullying this movie is totally worth your time,
Let's begin with the story, we just know that a 14 year old boy has died but we don't really know if it was suicide or a murder. Simple but it ends up being something more than that, like it was expected japanese cinema keeps being good turning a simple plot into a mistery movie but with teenagers. Apparently there aren't bad or good ones in this movie, we don't know if someone is really evil or what circumstances lead to that.
The acting is pretty good actually, the teenagers cast is PERFECT. The teachers are good like some awful teachers like at least you had one in your school. Mainly you'll focus on the teenagers cast obviously and I dare to say that in few years some of these kids will be big in Japan.
The music is mainly for the ending credits but it's a haunting song that fits the mood of the movie.
Would I rewatch this movie? Totally although it puts you in a rollercoaster but totally worth it.
Should you watch this movie? First you need 2 hours of your life well 4 if you want to see the second part haha but I recommend you this japanese gem.
