Reviews
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
missraze Surprised to see so many written reviews. I don't know if I like this film or not but I understand it. I'm annoyed that so far I don't see any appreciation for the end credits song, "Bubbles of Water." The lyrics state: "they kiss, become one, and then they float apart they slowly grow, then they burst and sink back into the sea somehow... somehow... they are just like us..."That tied the film up right there. As collectively odd as their issues might be, whatever; they're another troubled family in the world.I love Kenichi Endo as well; I have as many of his films and TV shows as possible right now, and his face is my background photo.
Boone-alexander Let me start off by saying the ONLY reason I gave this movie a 2, is because I found myself laughing at a couple of the parts. People over examine this movie and act like its some hidden gem, but from the very start of the movie until the end it's exactly the same. Confusing Japanese incest/comedy. Literally the very beginning. Biggest let down in a while. I found myself checking the time constantly while waiting for it to end. And then not to mention the end. Hidden message? Deep meaning? Once again, I think it's just incest porn. But I have to admit, at the few parts I was laughing, I was laughing hard. SPOILER : For instance, the dad is having sex with a dead body and he says "you're wet. Even in death the body can get wet! How amazing!" And then he realizes she is releasing her bowels and just s**t all over him. He then says "this isn't amazing! It's s**t!" And I was dying.
MovieGuy01 I have just watched Miike Takashi' film Visitor Q, tonight, and i think that it is one of the most insane and disturbing films that i have ever seen, since Ichi The Killer another of Miike's films I almost found it too shocking to watch parts of it because of the film content. It is about a father, who is a former television reporter who is trying to make a documentary about violence and sex among youths in Japan. He has sex with his daughter who is a prostitute. There are some really disturbing sences in this film where his son beats up his mom, who is also a prostitute and also a heroin addict, and has to inject herself everyday."Q" a strange man comes and lives with the family but before he injures the father by hitting him in the head with a large stone, who he later becomes friends with. It is hard to explain how insane this film is. I would recommend this film only to people who are able to watch such disturbing images. But i thought that it was still a fantastic film. 7/10
Boba_Fett1138 I don't like all of Takashi Miike's movies but I found this one to be pretty enjoyable, despite it being quite an odd movie. But well, that's just Miike's thing, so be sure what to expect before watching this.Miike's handles all kind of different styles and themes and blends them together into this movie. It has lots of crazy characters, a bunch of violence and also a large amount of sex and nudity this time. This gets all combined with its absurd story, that strengthens all of its other themes, making this an odd as well as an unique viewing experience.Despite all of its heavy visual themes, with violence and sex, the movie is above all things also strangely entertaining to watch. Miike puts in his trademark comedy, that often makes this movie a light and pleasant watch, despite all of the heavy things that are happening on screen. He knows to put in the comical touches at the right place and at the right time.Of course it often is a hard movie to understand and follow because of all of its unusual themes and not so every-day common characters. It therefore also really isn't a movie for just everybody but if you are willing to give this movie a change with a clear mind and don't try to think too much about it all, until afterward when things start to seem to make more sense to you, changes are you might end up enjoy watching this movie.It's a movie that gets better as it progresses. At first it all is one big blur to you but later on things start to clear up more and you're able to understand some of it's themes and intentions of Miike. Everything starts to come together to you and suddenly what normally seems strange now seems perfectly normally, once you're drawn into Miike's world.A movie worth giving a go.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
