Kuru (2018)
Too much narration and angry screaming
22 April 2020 - 5 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
This film could have really hit home the subject of child neglect/abuse, all in disguise of stories told by adults deluded by self-pity. One-dimensionally vilifying the characters gets in the way of exploring the movie's main message: exploitation of parenthood as a tool for self-gratification.
We also get distracted by
- bad, unscary CG blood
- huge monologues that conveniently try to explain the plot
- unnecessary characters (Tsuda, Kotoko) that scream at each other rather than highlight nuances of their relationships with Hideki/Kana/Chisa
