Good call by Eiga Geijutsu magazine picking it the worst film or the year. </blockquote><div><br>Really? You honestly think it was the worst from a year that included
the likes of Shaolin Girl, The Last Princess and God's Puzzle (or Love Exposure in your case)? I wouldn't say it was the year's
best either, but it was still a solidly acted and directed, emotional
but relatively restrained commercial drama, which is definitely a
rarity these days. With the middling "Nonko" and "The Kiss" in the top three and no mention of "All Around Us", "Fine, Totally Fine" or "After School", Eiga Geijutsu's list says more about the people polled than the films themselves.<br>
