No cheap jump scares. No real gore, or much graphic violence at all.Just the horror of the human psyche, and the horror people can inflict on one another for a variety of reasons. Some scarily petty, some arguably justifiable.It lulls you into believing you know it's true course, then surprises you with another turn of the screw.So, so much better and more interesting than the tired formulaic Hollywood horror that is churned out simply to turn a buck out of the popcorn teenage market.Having said that, it's very good, but not a masterpiece.Just kidding. 10/10
Each part of the confessions, most of which can be said selfish, makes this story. I'll tell you beforehand, but it continues in a matter-of-fact way, and never becomes bright. It's all serious. And it includes some social problems like the issue of bullying at school or home problems. I recommend that anyone who wants to become a teacher should watch it once because it makes us think about what education is. It shows the tragic fight between an adult and a youth, but we can't find any differences of large and small. You will definitely be attracted by the performance of the heroine, Takako Matsu, who is one of the most famous Japanese actresses. If you are Japanese students, please watch it. Maybe you'll think that your worry is too small compared with it and that bullying is ridiculous. I hope it'll be used as moral education at school.
Moriguchi is a school teacher, whose four year old daughter is found dead in the school's swimming pool. As a result, she decides to quit her job. As a Farewell speech, she begins with the importance of life and Later reveals that her child's death was not an accident. She knows the students behind this murder, who are in fact from her own class. The performances were all top notch, especially from Matsu and the kids. It's a dark revenge story that actually works because of its narrative style and It can easily keep the viewers on the edge of their seat. The plot was very impressive and the soundtrack also plays an important role in this flick. The film is quite stunning in every aspects and the overall effect of the movie was awesome.
There is no topping of this movie in the revenge theme, its perfect, the acting is superb, the plot twist is better than any Tarantino movie, you get hooked up from the beginning to the end. If you liked Gone Girl, this movie tops Gone Girl twist with its pinky toe.Takako Matsu (the teacher) holds you on a trip in the very first scene, she holds the first chapter on her own, you get interested in every word she says, she is the high point of this revenge tale, trust me you'll never forget her, you can compare the way she leads the introduction with Sgt Hartman in full metal jacket, its outstanding. If you are a revenge movie fan, its a must see, I don't get it why this movie is not recognized as it should be, its better than any Tarantino. The story of this movie flows like a river without any trash in it, its perfect, how the characters are built, how the plot is built around them.The only flaw I saw in this movie, its because it ends.Its not your regular revenge bloody movie, there is some blood, but there is a mastermind in it, meticulous, events that lead to greater events, its like Kill Bill had a date with James Bond and the baby was adopted by Cartman in the Scott Tenorman revenge episode in South Park.
