I watched this one only yesterday and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Where some others may claim this film to be a case of "style over substance", I whole-heartedly disagree.
Eri is suffering a trauma after splitting with her ex which causes her to become mute. Meanwhile, the said ex is pursuing his ambition to become an actor, which we find out as the film progresses, was the chief cause for them breaking up.
With a powerful message conveyed underneath the story of how each copes following the break-up, this film oozes style and beauty - and given the underlying theme, it's obvious why it was shot in such a way.
True, it's not hilarious all the way through, but there are some very funny moments during this drama/romance/comedy which actually made me laugh out loud.
I would recommend this film to anybody who is looking for something a little different... just try to stomach the really annoying American and you'll be okay.
