    Sometimes animated, sometimes strange, but always entertaining, it's an eccentric film about teens that manages to be surreal, dramatic, and comedic all at the same time.

    In the end, I can't say if there was anything too deep or substantial about Kamikaze Girls. It's a highly ...( read more)entertaining film with great comedy, but maybe its problem is that it never found much time for anything more in-between the laughs, but damn it looks great.

    A Japanese cross between Amelie and Ghost World. It's hyperactive and never gives you a chance to rest. Switching from sped up back story and cartoon stories etc. The visuals are fantastic with the colours really being brought out. Based on a cult novel you should also buy. Hila...( read more)rious in parts and a tale of true friendship. The performances are OTT and fit the wacky characters perfectly. Despite the fast frenetic style, it isn't headache inducing. So sit back and it's over in a flash ready for another viewing. Whoopee.

    An eccentric tale of two completely different Japanese teenage girls, one a biker, one obsessed with the Rococo era. Visually it's a treat, with colourful sets and some cool animation snippets thrown in. Took me a while to get into it, but once I did it turned out to be a fun ride.

    I watched this, but I have no idea what it was about!

    This is about 70% embroidery so I probably shouldn't like it, and if it was made in the west I no doubt wouldn't. But this is a quirky, crazy comedy film about an odd couple friendship. And needlework. But that's fine.

    Pretty good. A nice look at a couple of Japanese subcultures. It drags a little but in the middle, but picks up again towards the end. Every member of the cast seemed pretty suited to their roles.

    For a movie about teenage girls, this one is great. I was surprised at how much I liked it. Although I didn't relate to any of the characters, I found them all adorable. From beginning to end, the story is surreal, colorful and unpredictable. If you ever had a best friend who you...( read more) absolutely hated when you first met, this one's for the two of you.
