Beautifully Acted but Slow-Paced: An Incomplete Tale of a New Girl in Town
3 May 2023
This movie is a mixed bag. The lead actress delivers a wonderful performance and steals the scene. The plot is both unique and familiar at the same time, with a new girl in town juggling secrets while trying to open up. However, this theme has been explored before, but not with such beauty. Nevertheless, the film's pacing is excruciatingly slow, making it feel incomplete. Although slow-paced shows can be comforting, this one is just too much. The wife of the bento shop owner is the only character with a satisfying story arc, while the rest of the cast is left underdeveloped and uninteresting. The film's pacing and lack of character development make it feel like it's going nowhere. It could have been a much better experience, perhaps as a mini-series or by trimming the supporting cast down by half.
