Well Worth 2.5 Hours!
If you enjoy Japanese story-telling (thoughtful, nuanced, and deliberate) with a mix of solid acting with real-life examples and situations (especially of sexless relationships) - you'll find this 2.5 hour well spent. While it will leave you frustrated and you may not agree with the choices (and the indecision or at times emotionless approach) - the actors and the story do a pretty good job of balancing relationships that for one way or another feel like a cage, no matter how much love there is.
