Watched the other 2 movies from Japanese Film Festival Online/JFF Theater 2024
湯を沸かすほどの熱い愛 I guess I liked that the movie touches to so many subjects: (spoilers + trigger warnings) school bullying, being a single parent, being abandoned by your parent, having a disability, having a terminal disease. But at the same time wow, all those things happening to the same family, in my head I can’t help but thinking “maybe give those people a break”. Probably not really my kind of movie.
鍵泥棒のメソッド: This one I loved found it very funny (it was hilarious to see Kondo-san be in Sakurai-san’s clothes, Sakurai’s faces, Kanae’s personnality), and somehow more plausible than 湯を沸かすほどの熱い愛
(at the beginning I thought that the lady would meet and fall in love with fake-Kondo, newly rich, and somehow get deceived, and maybe the hitman would try to get revenge on the thief, but I really like the direction it took instead). Very impressed by the performance of the actors too
