TOMATOMETER
Hamaguchi knows what he's doing. He sees that, at the mercy of our fundamentally relational natures, personal identity is fragile and contingent...
Film Comment
[Hamaguchi] barrels through the discomfort to brake the action at a surprising resolution. And he stages and shoots within the cramped apartment setting with superb control of the dramatic stresses he wants to put across.
New York Times
There are moments of poetic beauty scattered throughout...
RogerEbert.com
Adapting a novel of the same title by Tomoka Shibasaki, Hamaguchi extols his source for a compelling representation of love as a mystic experience.
Variety
This is a film that, through its deceptively mellow means, manages to plumb the depths of what it truly means to love amid the uncertainties of self, others, and everything else besides.

Product Description:
Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi's philosophical romance is based on Tomoka Shibasaki's 2010 novel. It stages a love triangle between a young woman (Erika Karata) and two young men with starkly contrasting personalities (both are played by Masahiro Higashide). Unable to clarify her feelings for both of them, she becomes trapped in a confused and indecisive state of mind.
