Fascinating. Medium paced but filled with tension. The plot gets complicated, but in a way that kept me fully engaged, wanting to know how it was going to all come together. And it did. And with a bitter sweet moment at the end.

By turns sad, intriguing, frightening, touching, suspenseful. I could guess one of the major plot points about two thirds of the way through, but no matter. It still kept me on the edge of my seat and thoroughly invested in the characters. A classic. This review is of the Japanese version.

It's visually interesting. The soundtrack, what I would call modern classical, is really strong .... if you like that kind of thing. I'm buying the soundtrack on BandCamp. It unfolds slowly, in a way that was interesting to me, but that may be too slow for some viewers. The last act left me, not confused, but somewhat dissatisfied. From my point of view it didn't really come to a conclusion. It may work fine for more experienced sci-fi viewers, but the ending was the weakest part of the movie for me. I'm giving it three stars, although it may deserve four.

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Genuinely creepy concept. And the underwater setting works well visually and in terms of building tension.

I liked this movie! Ridiculous but funny. Great lo-fi vibe.
