A dark drama sporting impressive performances and some unpleasant twists. Hayami and Kawai are captivating, Satô is more of an acquired taste, but it's his performance that gives this film its identity. The rest is pretty much by the numbers. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but besides the impressive story, there's not that much that stands out. The film is based on a true story, which adds the the impact of the drama. The ending in particular is quite harsh and left me stunned for a few minutes. Darker dramas seem to be in vogue again and A Girl Named Ann is a fine representative, but it doesn't do quite enough to differentiate itself from its peers. Read all
