At first I started to watch, I was expecting a movie which has some heroic chraracters. But seems like this one is not one of them... in a good way. I didn't watch much Japanese movie so i can't evaluate correctly maybe but in the movies I watch in general it has a unique place now. It was intense, has a humour in it and also this good feeling about trying. We saw our lead character as a person in real life. I think she is kinda shallow person-not just because of the dull expression :) - but it's not the issue because we can see deep levels of her as we need.
As I mentioned before about good feeling about trying, I didn't expect from her anything to be honest at first. And the way she took the control of her life was so inspiring while it is realistic, too. She is nothing like a heroine so as we are. I may be good or best in my field but in the end it is all about trying and knowing what you want. Because we could be a winner or loser however at one point we are gonna fail and it is okay. This isn't about winning, sometimes just life happens.
