So, married dudebro goes to Japan where he falls head over heels in love with a mysterious and exotic woman despite (because of?) the fact that they can't talk to each other. Really, movie? Really?

It could have been better had the theme been used differently. But they used the interesting parts as a plain background, and instead whined and dragged on about some boring love triangle between cardboard cutouts. Some actors are wasted on flat characters, and the main dude was tedious.

I quite enjoyed the story. It's beautiful and heart-wrenching. But in order for the final twist to work - Keira's character needed to have been more acquainted to the viewers for the emotional impact to land. Also, Michael Pitt's portrayal was like watching a plank of wood trying to emote.
