Dependence poster

A simple but stylish romance. It's a story about two very different personalities hooking up, and the problems that come with such a relationship. Certainly not the most original premise, but the presentation is pleasant and the performances are on point, which resulted in an easy watch.

Sonoda wants to be a writer but he has trouble getting his career off the ground, so he becomes an editor instead. When he bumps into Rina it is love at first sight. Rina is the complete opposite of Sonoda though, she has no clue what to do with her life and lounges around, doing nothing much at all.

Sonoda's individual struggles end up jeopardizing his relationship, especially when Rina turns out to be better at his job than he is. It's all rather standard, but the cinematography is polished and there are some very sweet/touching scenes scattered throughout. The finale in particular is quite memorable, which means the film must've done something right.
