Kariiiiiin

A born actress, albeit she was perfectly cast for the role and didn't really have to act as a completely different person, although that's what you'll take for a movie debut (tbf she had to pretend to be smart- do not ask her to do a times table).

Overall the story is fun and engaging, making you guess things until the very last moment. Even if the "villain" in this case was a bit of a pantomime villain after they've been revealed as one, personally I see that as fine, as well as imagining the discussion's that do take place when deceit and bribery takes place, I mean most politicians sell out to Israel for only a couple $1000, even if this story isn't actually about such a grand scale of things, it is one that alludes to the nature of the greater world outside of school "scoops" and how nefarious things can be.

If you liked this movie, I'd seriously recommend watching "Caster!", a TV drama airing this year which similarly goes over in essence the same topics but over a grander scale of time and levelled up to the "adult world".

Honestly for criticism it's kind of hard to give any, I would like to say that the pantomime-ness is definitely exaggerated but even if it is there's nothing inherently problematic about it, yet honestly I can imagine the politicians acting in the exact same manner of accord every time they take a bribe (funnily enough the big "scoop" that costed the LDP's first defeat in Japanese electoral history post 1955 system, revealed that they were taking bribes the entire time- they also accuse the other side of doing it, classic whataboutism to try and save face, big parallels with the story told here https://archive.ph/wRkkh ), so even this criticism is pretty much clutching at straws, since I do honestly believe these people giggle to themselves (I mean they've sold their souls already they may as well laugh and drop the eloquence act) when they see the suitcases of money they receive after voting on sanctions on a country they voted to invade or weapons licensing contracts or discriminatory laws against immigrants (looking at you Sanseito).

If you're an imaginative person you can probably guess the gist off the plot from my review- although you shouldn't be reading spoiler'd reviews if you are the type, if you aren't then I'd say watch this movie and you probably will thoroughly enjoy it while watching out for some of the parallels that I have mentioned.

The pacing style is one of sequential movement and action, which is exactly what a movie should be- the slow burn build up stuff can stay with the multi-episode multi-seasonal TV shows- while this doesn't sacrifice any of the quality within the scenes nor the layer's of mystery within the story. Seriously watch this.

Also Karin is actually just the goat or what
