Oh Lucy!

How does one reconcile reality and delusion when the illusion of love is at hand? A rather wound up and repressed Japanese woman takes a leap. An interesting twist in a woman's search for love. What crawled under my skin was how Japanese culture was portrayed...emotionally repressed, and the 'awkwardness' that ensues. I felt like I was in Japan again... Although topically a comedy, the underlying theme is loss. The actors do a magnificent job.

Even though the movie was Japanese, it could easily have been an American Indie movie. Complex characters and issues that can't result be resolved. No simple answers here

Charming story about two sisters adventure going to America from Japan. The cultural differences and what drives them. The main character Setsuko is loveable as her alter ego Lucy who chases after life instead of being trodden on by it.

Not an action movie but a sweet tale definitely worth a look for it's raw view of life in all the shades of good and bad.

This is a tragedy that you do not know is a tragedy until it's about 3/4 of the way through. Up until then, you think it's a comedy of errors. It's not. Heartbreaking and very well done.

This is dark humor at its finest. If you like the works of Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure and the Square) or Yojiro Takita (Departures), you will absolutely fall in love with this movie.

This film is such an amazing mix between absolute nothingness, and horrible traumas... If you want to be emotionally shook up, this is the movie for you!
