A Girl Named Ann (2024)

A Girl Named Ann. A Japanese drama film. Directed by Yu Irie. Starring Yuumi Kawai.

There are an equal number of nasty parents and unfortunate children. Too obedient children are especially sad because they need a long time to remove their parents' brainwashing. Adults with a secret intention pretend to be righteous and approach such children. The conditions are ugly and cruel. The film depicts the tragic reality, which was hard for me to watch. I felt comfortable only when the fragile Yuumi Kawai as Ann smiles occasionally. 

Drug addicts are said to never commit suicide. They seem to live a pleasure hell.

The role of Goro Inagaki might be suitable for a still unknown actor who are waiting for a chance.

Thinking the ending, it was more tragic than Ichiko. I do not want to believe that it is based on a true story.
