With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who need a good giggle and action fans. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Sits nicely alongside Beast.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A story about a tomboy, Otoshi, who is good at singing, dancing and fencing.
