Not what I expected
The plot was good, and I expected a "silent" and touching love story, but here it was impalpable.
I didn't like that ML pretended to be able to play the piano (taking advantage of her being blind), nor that she found out without telling him... well, what the heck is this?
Realistically, I didn't see the basis for a love story to develop; without the medium of communication or eye contact, it could have been explored more deeply (perhaps the idea was better on paper than on screen).
The first part of the film is very slow, and we mainly follow Aoi's day-to-day life. In the second half, the story becomes so melodramatic that it seems forced, just to accommodate Aoi's sacrifice, going to prison in his place.
I thought the cast was passable. With a script like this, everything relied on the actors' expressions, and unfortunately, they didn't convey anything to me. She, in particular, was lacking.
For me this movie was quite disappointing, I wouldn't recommend it.
