Slow-paced, a bit unfocused and disjointed in some of its subplots, with characters not very adequately fleshed out, and a plot that feels underdeveloped and unbalanced between its heavy and satirical moments.

A peculiar, dreamlike film with a mellow tone, elegant cinematography of beautiful Nagano's landscapes and eloquent performances form the cast, especially Sakaguchi Kentaro and Ichikawa Mikako.
