| User ReviewWan KGood Idea + Good Acting. Maybe the best low-budget movie ever. |
| User Reviewm wThe storytelling is excellent, with the twists and turns but everything stays quite plausible at the end of the day. It looked quite boring and unpromising initially but I got drawn into the story very quickly. Very very very funny! I -did- enjoy the otaku-dance at the end...heh. IMO it quite deserves the 'Best Film' award at Japan's Blue Ribbon awards this year. |
| User ReviewEstefania MI love this movie!!!!!! And specially Koide Keisuke XD, loved Snake XD |
| User ReviewGabriel GA very intelligent story by Yuichi Sato, a very funny parody about fan clubs and their members' obsessions. It's an example about how to make great films on a slim budget, without big expenses in art direction and special effects, but with a powerful script that makes us think about. |
| User ReviewAshton SThis is damn fine drama with a plot unique to Japan. It really keeps you guessing as the actors take you down a very twisty tale. |
| User ReviewTheresa CPerfect screenplay! I was glued to the screen because every second of the film count towards the story. Great audio effects for what seems to be a simple set up. The screenwriter and director are geniuses for producing such an exciting film with little more than 5 guys in an apartment. Highly recommended. It's flawless. The end of the film appears to suggest a sequel? Kisaragi is a flawless standalone film, although I don't mind a sequel if it as done as good as this. |
| User ReviewJulius CI can't believe this movie's here! One of the best Japanese low-budgeted movies I've ever watched. One room, 5 men, and a crazy plot that has as many twists as the fabled winding road. |
| User Reviewdini mFunny, just 5 person in movie, good story |
| User ReviewTsai WAn extremely clever comedy which it set up very much like a play - all set in one room a year after the apparent suicide of a fairly unknown model five of her fans meet. All of the actors are outstanding in their eccentric roles and hilarious. It starts off slow but it's well worth sticking with it. |
| User ReviewLyn JWho knew a film shot entirely in a single room and in an almost stage play setup would be so entertaining?! I loved it! Five men, or should I say "otaku", come together to celebrate the life of a late unknown star. Argumentative, they begin to invegstigate and reinact how their idol was sadly murdered that reveals a deep and sad ending. Funny but truly unique! |
