Irresistibly charming. Bae Du-na is perfectly cast in Yamashita's deadpan style. Anyone who doesn't like this is an asshole.

Fun film with good performances from the girls in the band, great soundtrack from James Iha (of the Smashing Pumpkins), a solid script and good direction. In case you haven't heard of Japanese punk band, "The Blue Hearts", the title track is going to stay in your head.

What a gorgeous film. It integrates Linklater with Rivette: Linklater's culture-emptied, culture-inspired settings with Rivette's obsession with females creating art. Great stuff.

Really great movie. As much as it embarrasses me to so fully enjoy a film with entirely female protagonists that doesn't involve blood drenched violence and raunchy sex scenes, I really can't argue with its greatness.

"Even for those entirely unfamiliar with the history of Japanese rock music this film's infectious, three-chord charm will prove hard to resist." -Tom Mes, Midnight Eye
