Suffocatingly Unfunny

The film truly had nothing to say, but attempting to mine gross out humor from the incest concept. I felt horrible for Rin from the beginning to the end having to put up with a creepily invasive and controlling male family member her whole life because he and his father are the only family she has left in the world. Due is awful and selfish and his disgusting behavior towards her is of course enabled by his friend and even his boss. The writing is self aware enough with Due's rash out of nowhere reveal to her that they aren't family, his mind only about being able to date her, while to her she just found out she never had a nephew and brother in law in the first place. Regardless of the truth of them not being blood related, they were still raised as family and she only ever saw them as such. There was never once at any point of the film that establishes that Rin felt anything other than familial towards Due. The ending is even left open ended because they know it's weird that she would ever date him and he just acts the same instead of making it clear he will treat her as just family from now on. There is no point that the film makes either way. The side character of the guy that's obsessed with her is also extremely unfunny. His aggressively unwanted, intrusive advances are really no different than Due aside from the fact that she can't get away from Due because he's family. It's sad that she never even got to try dating the cute college guy that liked her and she also liked back. I'm glad she went off to England to study though, at least she did something for herself though she did miss the family that she grew up with.
