Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

christopher-underwood It is likely that there are hundreds of mediocre Japanese films and that in theist we only get to see the more interesting or better made. Fact is, however, that all of those released in the UK excepting a few generic horrors, seem of a very high order and fiercely aware of potentially perilous contradictions in the behaviour of the people. This is far from the joy and fun of the director's earlier Kamikaze Girls, even if that too threw up plenty of awkward questions for a confused populous, indeed this appears almost to be a Sadean reverse. Nobody comes out of this well and the film that begins on the dark side just gets darker and bloodier as it progresses. There is an 's' at the end of the single world title and this means that the lengthy and seemingly authoritative, initial confession is but the first. Slightly confusing, here and there, wit similar looking girls and first names, nicknames and last names waved about but well worth your attention for a disturbing but enlightening look at the lot of schoolchildren and their parents in jolly Japan. Incidentally I think it must also be significant that there appears to be no Japanese translation for 'single parent' which is expressed in English here, suggesting discriminatory problems ahead.

ruby765 Each part of the confessions, most of which can be said selfish, makes this story. I'll tell you beforehand, but it continues in a matter-of-fact way, and never becomes bright. It's all serious. And it includes some social problems like the issue of bullying at school or home problems. I recommend that anyone who wants to become a teacher should watch it once because it makes us think about what education is. It shows the tragic fight between an adult and a youth, but we can't find any differences of large and small. You will definitely be attracted by the performance of the heroine, Takako Matsu, who is one of the most famous Japanese actresses. If you are Japanese students, please watch it. Maybe you'll think that your worry is too small compared with it and that bullying is ridiculous. I hope it'll be used as moral education at school.

binyonadam Firstly may I say this film looks stunning something western films lack! The plot is pitch black. Redemption and revenge but at the end you feel all the protagonists are sick but sick because of tragic pasts. If you simply want a revenge movie look else where,if you want a deep,thought provoking movie with a horrifying ending then Confessions is a must see!

Akhil Balachandran Moriguchi is a school teacher, whose four year old daughter is found dead in the school's swimming pool. As a result, she decides to quit her job. As a Farewell speech, she begins with the importance of life and Later reveals that her child's death was not an accident. She knows the students behind this murder, who are in fact from her own class. The performances were all top notch, especially from Matsu and the kids. It's a dark revenge story that actually works because of its narrative style and It can easily keep the viewers on the edge of their seat. The plot was very impressive and the soundtrack also plays an important role in this flick. The film is quite stunning in every aspects and the overall effect of the movie was awesome.
