Baaardzo dziwna produkcja. Wizualna strona zdecydowanie na plus. Fabula ciekawa, ale podana w sposob, ktory chwilami nie dko konca sie sprawdza. Oryginalny - to na pewno.

stunning movie with a fantastic story, the ending was simply beautiful.

Moving past Moriguchi's eerie revelation to become one of the most innovative and evocative of cinematically portrayed cataclysms, the film ascends beyond low-key chills to awe-inspiring spills of bloodied emotional expression in a markedly Japanese yet thought-provoking way. A revenge-driven plot capably outdoing muddy forbears courtesy of Nakashima's dexterousness, Confessions' encounter with wounded humanity dares push boundaries of articulation and structure with auspicious results.

It's engrossing and original, but relies on a gimmicky plot that never ceases in its 'twists' even through the final shot (and past the final shot even).

I really wanted to like this movie. The subject matter is rife with potential. Unfortunately there were too many melodramatic moments for me to take it seriously. The editing had me laughing at some moments. It does have its moments, like the powerful climax combined with post-rock music. This could be a great film if it took a nice good dose of subtlety.

I don't know what to make of this. On the one hand it has some of the best visuals I've seen in a while (the explosion scene is incredible), all-round good acting, even from the child actors which is very rare, and, for me at least, some harsh moral ambiguity. On the other, it's completely style over substance, the narrative is unclear and far too erratic, and is too Japanese for it's own good (30 minute opening monologue followed by a musical number). Interesting yet flawed.

Insane melodrama about unwanted kids and vengeful mothers. Thank you again, Japan, for another ambitious movie that fails to hit its mark because of how goddamn ridiculous and silly it is.

Wow. This movie was awesome on a level I did not anticipate. I enjoyed it immensely. It’s complex, stylistic, violent, philosophical, suspenseful, emotional and so much more. Visually, it’s absolutely beautiful. Its use of slow-motion is fantastic. Yeah. I loved it. Highly recommended.

Visually and sonically impressive, but so overwrought and melodramatic that it actually fails to leave a lasting mark.

Too nonsensical to be coherent, and too bleak to be entertaining, this film lacks essential qualities such as realism, self-awareness, sympathy for the viewer, and redemption of its characters. And I don't, and never will never care enough about some murderous teenagers, to willingly follow such an overly complicated narrative.

There's certainly no shortage of murderous, violent, angsty teenagers in Japanese film, literature and comics. But Confessions transcends that trope, as a stylish revenge thriller that proves to be a worthy challenger to Chan-Wook Park's vengeance films in this little corner of Asian cinema.

08 subat 2011 & bir filmin sairane bir anlatima burunmesi demek slowmotion goruntuler ile donatilmasi demek degildir. kokuhaku, filmden ote uzun bir klip gibi. muzikler guzel ama muzik kullanimi kotu. bu hikaye belki de daha farkl%u0131 bir tarzda islenebilirdi. yonetmenin tarzini begenmedim. gereksiz, dandik ve bir sure sonra da sikici bir hal alan bir film.

Torn about this one. It is certainly an interesting effort... but I can't help but feel that this is overdirected to the point of absurdity. Perhaps fitting to its theme, the story feels like it's written by a troubled high schooler who fancies himself to be "deep", and the visuals, while striking, share much of that same MTV2 sensibility. While this made it hard for me to really get into the film, it's bravely harsh and free of any truly sympathetic characters, while still being entertaining.

Amazed at what I just experienced. A misanthropic masterpiece. Not many directors would dare start a film with a 30 min monologue, but it thankfully, Nakashima did, it's almost the best part of the whole film. Can't say much more, speechless.

The first act is perfect, the rest is just a bonus. It's a really cool Park-chan Wook vengeance type film with amazing cinematography.

Visually beautiful, great acting and storywise daring and misanthropic: an amazing revenge story.

Brilliant. The directing was immense, switching between slow motion shots of beatiful urban scenery and fucked up kids going wild. The ending was fantastic, it brought the whole thing together, brilliantly tied up all the loose ends and to be honest, I didn't see it coming. Worth watching for the first 20 minutes alone.

tek mekan ve diyalog tabanli bir film gibi baslayip farkli kisilerin penceresinden daha deneysel bir anlatimla devam ediyor. herkese hitap etmese de gercek sinemaseverlerin es gecemeyecegi bir yapim.

Nothing short of incredible. Its style, content and delivery will divide opinion, but what I experienced was a visceral, intense and shocking revenge masterpiece. Too many great scenes and shots to list, but the opening monologue in particular was fantastic. Full of great performances with a stunning use of sound and music, this will go down as one of all time favourites.

It's pretty amazing. The first act alone is awesome.

Overly stylized and smugly told, both of which maybe in an attempt to hide the fact that the messy story, frankly, isn't good. The soundtrack wasn't half-bad.

The first 30 minutes are fantastic and the highly stylized but brilliantly told revenge story holds the viewer captive until the final half hour or so, where it just goes completely overboard in explaining its point, drowning in a puddle of patos.

Starts off slow and a bit confusing, but as the pieces start coming together it just gets better and better. Great ending too.

Certainly original, both in concept and execution, though the themes have been dealt with better and more consistently elsewhere. It stumbles as it tries to stretch things out from slightly over the top to totally ludicrous, but still pretty entertaining.

The opening scene is spell-binding, and although the movie loses a little bit of its momentum, remains a fun and clever ride throughout.
