With previous experience watching few Japanese dramas, I had a prejudice that holds me from watching another Japanese movies. But this was quite a turn.
It was based on a best selling novel and beautifully compressed into a short 111 minutes film. With Kyoto as the background, well known places such as Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari Shrine scenes were really nice icing.
Conflict was presented early and makes me sympathize to the character (Takatoshi and Emi) throughout the entire film. The pacing keeps me entertained and wondered how will they resolve this in the end.
This might spoil the story but for me there are some questions left unanswered in the film.
Concerning the different timeline, does Emi really feel the world revolving backward? The technology and all. According to her timeline, will she went to Takatoshi's room then help him move? I don't really have the problem with her future self see younger Takatoshi, but when you look it day by day. it becomes quite problematic for me.
Then, why was Takatoshi's father reacted that way? Had he seen her?
Those might be answered in the book.
Beside that, I really liked the film. Shots were gorgeous, the acts was on point. I would like to see it all over again sometime in the future... or was it in the past?
