Happyend. The coming-of-age film is a Japan-U.S. co-production. Directed by Neo Sora. Starring Hayato Kurihara and Yukito Hidaka.
A case reminiscent of Scent of Woman occurs at a Japanese
high school in the near future.
All of the actors are fresh and no one seems to be cast
by pressure from the outside. More international students attend the school
than today, so the class looked to be new, however, it was a common coming-of-age
one. The students defy the adults getting used to the society, which is a
familiar sight in the kind of movie, all the same, it looked to be comfortable,
though I deep down thought that the young people should remember that they live
off their parents' support. The shallow Yuta shows a manly spirit toward the
ending, which made me lightly feel catharsis.
