Based on the description I expected more of a detective mystery, but this is not what this is. This is a drama, mostly a critique of the social system in Japan. And that is not really for everyone. The movie takes time to develop characters and tell the story it wants. The frequent time jumps, in the beginning, make it a bit harder to get into this movie, but as it progresses, it will get you invested in the characters and gets you to the finish. [spoiler] The ending was predictable, I think I guessed it halfway through, but not that bad. [/spoiler]
