I really like good Japanese movies and I'm always pleased when I view a good one, this however exceeded any expectations I may have had. The writing, acting, editing and directing were equally well done. Wow, so good I might watch it again to see what I may have missed in the first viewing. If you have approximately 1.5 hours and want to get engulfed into someone else's world, Yuma (characters name) will pull you in. Grab a snack and enjoy. This movie is worth your monthly Netflix subscription.
