Except for a few slow patches, the movie is compulsively watchable: You keep waiting to see just how sick things are going to get.

A disturbing, and disturbingly funny, twist on adolescent love, and Shiota captures the emotional avalanche with understanding.

Best of all is Tsugumi's wild performance.

Newcomer Akihiko Shiota shows talent as a director, but he allows Sasayaki to go on too long.

Surprisingly poignant, thanks to its enduring sense of tenderness.

Good acting and understated filmmaking turn off-putting material into a mildly engrossing drama, if not a particularly compelling one.

It's not always clear what this film is driving at, but Shiota makes the weirdness visually arresting.

This dreamy, languorous farce offers a manageable strawberry-flavored alternative, a mildly kinky Hello Kitty sadomasochism.

There's a little more sex than you'll see on WB, but mostly there's an atmosphere of brooding psychodrama and erotic cruelty that falls somewhere between "Cries and Whispers" and "Say Anything."
