A fine drama with some darker thriller elements mixed in. The narrative elements were a bit too strong for me, I would've preferred a more core drama, especially as that's where Matsuo's talents appeared the strongest. But overall, this was a pleasant, well-paced film with plenty to like.
The performances are strong, the presentation is pleasant and the dramatic parts are properly realized. I didn't care as much for the thriller elements, as they felt a little tacked on, but it's not that they actively annoyed me either. Matsuo shows a lot of promise, hopefully he can keep his career going.
