A sensitive look at the duality of perception and reality

Is reality exactly how it is always presented to us? That I think is the bigger question that the director is trying to answer with this film. The media present us with a narrative: a juvenile is arrested for kidnapping a child. Parties not involved in the incident present us with a narrative: the juvenile in question is nothing but a pedophile. However, how do the main characters of this story themselves view what had happened? Is reality as black-and-white as we might think or want it to be?What I liked: The cinematography and score of this movie really captured my attention, just like the storyline. The story is layered with rich character development and you come to feel like you really know the character. An aspect of the storyline that I found interesting is how the person we would expect to be evil might not be and the person we might expect to be good might not be that either.What I didn't like: The movie could have benefitted from a tighter editing to shorten it as it felt a bit too draggy by the end. The story might appear to be too depressing to some as well. Despite the rich characterization of the leads, the movie might have benefitted from an examination into why the male lead chose to "give shelter" to the female lead at the beginning of the story.Please be advised that the movie has a few distressing scenes of violence and abuse which might be triggering to some.

Suffering of the sick

The little girl, was so damaged that she went home at the first word of an unknown adult man. The man is like if he would came from another planet. He looks totally assexual, but somehow he still attracted to this young girl, but he is unable to show his emotions. Later on the little girl grows up and finds a seemingly real man, but he is too jeaolus and tries to control the girl, at this point i thought its okay.Then the girl finds her kidnapper, pedo man but strangely she wont run away at first, but suprisingly she goes back to the caffe where he works. He tries to ignore her, but then the wierd girl follows him and his girlfriend to his apartment, and she pretends that she is so happy the pedo foud an adult woman.My english doesent allw me todescribe how sic is this film, its disgusting, and disturbing at the same time, of course you feel pity for these sick people. Im not suprised the japanese are unable reproduce themselfes, making and watching such wierd things shows they have serious mental issues.
