Reviews
An Intemporal Take on Compensated Dating
Love & Pop is a shocking and brutal watch, tackling a taboo subject with an approach that is both deeply engaging and deliberately unsettling. At times, it can feel visually and narratively disorienting.What the film exposes was already present in the 1990s, yet it has only intensified over time, especially with teenagers gaining easier access to the internet. It sheds light on a reality that feels uncomfortably modern, one that many prefer to ignore or simply avoid confronting.
More importantly, this isn’t just a localized issue tied to one country or culture. The film points to something far more universal ~ a societal problem that transcends borders, making its message as relevant today as it was when it first emerged.

Interesting commentary on perversion and sexualisation in Japan from some girls chasing material but empty desires, and some men who are pathetic and lonely and others who are screwed in the head.
