Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

chinchara_gio This is one of the best movies I've ever seen story, acting,soundtracks,cinematography and all is just amazing in movie. but people still gave it 6.6, because most of them don't like gore of this story and not movie. this movie is high level masterpiece and just because u are idiot who can't understand deep meaning of great movie and loves watching transformers or barbie movies, just don't watch, because this movie is not for you. but if you are person who can and love thinking, congrats cause this movie gonna be great satisfaction for u.

friday3333 from the start of the movie until the end contain discomfort atmosphere with violent and some nudity.The story is quite confusing and I regret that I watch this movie.But after me and my friend have some discuss about this story it quite give us a lot of idea and what director want to teach us about so we give another shot for this story and we got what this story is to remind something for Japan people.The soundtrack is really various and their production is beautiful(even though cg is bad in action) Really recommend for someone who could open- mind for some weird story that is hard to understand.This movie is really good for someone who study art and who love plot twist or complicate story.Last remind.everyone can't be trusted.

politic1983 Tetsuya Nakashima is a director that pops up every couple of years with a film that can only be described as 'ruddy good.' I first saw 'Kamikaze Girls' and 'Memories of Matsuko' within about an hour of each other a few years back and enjoyed both. I then anticipated and enjoyed (as much as you can) 'Confessions' which soon followed. So after a few years off, Nakashima returns with 'The World of Kanako', and was I excited?!Akikazu Fujishima is an absolute bastard. A real piece of the proverbial. Losing his job as a detective due to his mental health, he soon gains alcoholism and a job as a security guard, but loses his wife and daughter. Living in his own filth, he suddenly receives a call from his estranged wife asking if he's seen their daughter. With a number of recent murders connected to his missing daughter, Akikazu soon becomes caught up in police investigations, frequent battles with his wife and gang violence. In true Hollywood-style, he decides to take the case of his missing daughter on himself, discovering the world of his daughter that he never knew, and maybe wishes he never did. Starring Koji 'always in the big film' Yakusho as Mr Bastard, the film starts with Tarantino-esque retro titles, loud, brash and in your face. This sets the standard for two hours of intense, graphic and probably over-the-top cinema. 'The World of Kanako' is a good film, but you come away thinking that it could have been a bit simpler.There are definite elements of the three previously mentioned Nakashima films all present here: The in-your-face, cartoonish styling of 'Kamikaze Girls'; the epic life story, enigmas and musical montages of 'Memories of Matsuko'; and the, at times, overly intense psychology of 'Confessions'. All are employed effectively here again, creating a extreme, dark and out-of-this-world experience for both the characters and viewers alike. But, a little like Tarantino, things get a little indulgent here. Most obviously is the violence: blood splatters across pretty much every scene with teenage acne-like glee, with the make-up department working overtime in getting everyone's face suitably disfigured. Everyone hits everyone hard, with sound effects to match, and then they walk into the next scene for it all to happen again. While I don't mind a bit of violence on screen , when it's relentless it can become both a little boring and lacking impact. The switching between past and present also gets a little overdone, though generally throughout is the film's strength in creating both mystery and builds as the film continues. Though by the end, the switching becomes too frequent, blurring the lines between the past and the present, with endless editing.The films starts well, but starts to fall off as the end grows nearer. The violence becomes too much, cartoon-like in a film that creates an intense atmosphere. More and more characters come in towards the end, that maybe didn't need introducing. But disappointingly the intensity that is built throughout the film gets lost in this violence, seeing the viewer switch off and despite trying lacks the well rounded conclusion of 'Memories of Matsuko' and 'Confessions'. But Nakashima is a director that can certainly create an experience through cinema.
