| User ReviewHung-Ya LThe Kirishima Thing is amazing. At first you only get a fragment of the story and then through different perspectives on the same story on the same day, you start to understand what it is all about. Then the story continues so that you know how everyone is being affected by a single person who decided to drop out of the volleyball club. A very spot-on and truthful depiction on each personalities. |
| User ReviewKace CThe Kirishima Thing [Japan, 2012] I always like it when a movie plays around perspectives... I want two more hours of this. 8/10 |
| User ReviewMarvin BAn ingenious mystery film featuring Japanese high school students from different clubs whose lives were affected by the missing title character. |
| User ReviewKong MIt's a good example of characterization in film. As long as the characters are crafted nicely, put them in any situation, the film will be as interesting as any award winning film (I said interesting, not as good as!). This film is directed by Daihachi Yoshida, with simple or almost without a clear story line. The motive is to show high school students' self-searching process. Yoshida just put in a situation, a famous student disappear. Then the interesting characters will just lead the way as it effects every society in the school. Suzuka Ohgo, as Aya Sawashima, is worth notice. She do not have much lines but her expressions is just as full as a full cream milk... |
| User ReviewMichael HIt's a bit squirelly, but that's perhaps apropos for a movie about intersections of subcultures in school. The movie's not great, but it has its moments. And some honest and awkward interactions. |
| User ReviewMaksym KThe repeatedly back & forth narrative, just makes this actually dull coming-of-age storyline even much more annoying. |
