    [Highly rated reviewer]

    It should be pointed out that this is not the extended 144min cut of the film as advertised but the 113min version.

  • Suprisingly very good.

    Visually and confrontationally superb with great performances. I expected okay and got an enthralling film that keeps you watching until the end.

  • Not one to watch with the wife!

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    Superbly twisted tale of sex, deceit and guilt. Wonderfully bizarre story line, really solid performances, sordid camera work and a slow relentless drive towards the conclusion revealed early on. FUN!

  • Different and erotic mystery worth a watch

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By StormOrphan (113 reviews) from SUTTON , 23 May 2012
    This is a good and unusual psychological thriller of lives unravelling into eroticism and violence. The story jumps around a bit and takes a while to take shape but then becomes an interesting mystery set within an increasingly strange and seedy world.

  • Twisted Japanese murder tale

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Whipster (663 reviews) from Shropshire , 22 May 2012
    Much better than 'Love Exposure' imo. A more interesting storyline but even though nicely twisted it still feels overlong - and this is the truncated version! Megumi Kagurazaka is absolutely edible and well cast as the submissive housewife who is led astray by her desires and those willing to exploit them. Lots of unlikable characters as you'd expect but a mother who beats them all hands down! Quirky and maybe odd in places - not realistic in Western terms - the homicide plotline becomes a sort of distraction to the main narrative. Definitely flawed but enjoyable if you enjoy Japanese storytelling. Japanese. Subtitled. 3. 5 stars.

    I rented this thinking it was going to be an asian-horror film - of which I am a fan of this genre. Instead it is the depressing tale of woman's transformation into a downward spiral of betrayal, madness via the world of Tokyo's vice and seediness. The lead actress - the very, very attractive Ms Mizuno - gives a great and daring performance, which includes uncomfortable love scenes, full nudity and madness. She deserves to be a major star.

    A well acted by all, but not a film to cheer you up.
