> Good call by Eiga Geijutsu magazine picking it the worst film or the year.


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.
