EPTnot sure i was sold on the plotline at any point. stylistically it was neat, but can't find anything but indifference at best.

i didn't get the "oh my god" feeling i got when watching memento for example. instead, as the majority of the movie felt disconnected and meandering, i arrived to the "twist" and felt more of a "oh... i guess that's what i've been watching this whole time." | ||

I'm not sure I remember much of the plot, since I did watch this like 3-4 years ago.... But, even though I was disappointed by the film for the same reasons, I still ended up liking it. O_O I found the aesthetic charming. | ||

I've watched most of the recommended korean/jap films and Most of them suck tbh. The only one I liked was Ip Man. | ||

I hate it when people say this. Why would you watch it "normal" ever? The backwards element is such an intrinsic part of the movie that I don't know why people try to judge the movie without it. It's like saying that Tarantino films are average without the dialogue. | ||
