Haha, we're in the future now. 2026 but we don't have those types of mobile phones or ipads. First half was interesting but second half is kind disjointed. Why do I get the impression they're blaming her when the dad took custody of the son. Why didn't he go look for his mum, she gave him the kids. I'm sure she's always hoped he would come back.
FL is such an annoying, needy character to watch. Almost feels like watching a bipolar character who wants to be treated like a princess. I hated the way she would disturb and aggravate the screenwriter boyfriend and start fights. She's borderline abusive.
The structure of the film doesn't help either, with very little dialogue and a free form at times I wasn't even sure about the story.
Edit: FL later has a consult to find out if she's bipolar.
Wow, what an emotional movie. Ayano Go did an excellent job, you feel all his emotions and more. I felt so much throughout the whole movie, from anger to tears to relief and sadness. It's been a while since I watched a jmovie that could deliver such emotional range.
The police acting weird and crazy as usual. They messed up so many times. The mum asking about if the Frog Boys will come Home was another sad reference to kids that have never been found. It was a really hard watch, just left me sad and angry.

It was also funny how they kept changing the pick-axe kid's actor. Sometimes, he looked bigger.

The conversations are so beautiful and tell you so much about life. My favorite was the Chinese character for loneliness which looks like a 'fox".
