“As in certain films by Leo McCarey that could easily be snickered at, the way Miyake looks at his characters and forges ties between them transforms the most sanctimonious simplicity into an irrepressible feeling.” – Cahiers du Cinéma
Misa (Kamishiraishi Mone, Your Name) suffers from severe PMS, which can unravel her otherwise demure disposition with violent disregard for personal or professional company. Finally holding down a job assembling science kits for kids, she befriends Takatoshi (Matsumura Hokuto, Suzume), a withdrawn colleague prone to debilitating panic attacks.
Sho Miyake, adapting a novel by Seo Maiko, choreographs the blossoming relationship with gentle humour and sensitivity in gorgeous 16mm.
