Critic Reviews

Gorgeously shot tableaux of random adolescent brutality are interrupted by flashes of computer garble and chat-room talk, backed by ''Lily's'' music, with its blend of Debussy-like arpeggios and Enya-like sighing.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

A sprawling and adventurous tale of teen alienation, might just be the movie that pushes the Japanese new wave out of the film-geek ghetto.Full Review

Andrew O'Hehir
Salon.com

Awash in strangeness, a poem that details what it's like to be 13 at the end of a millennium.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

For all its digressions and occasional flat moments, Iwai's movie is a remarkable, acutely involving one, working on an emotional level that can only really be expressed through music -- a strong component in all of Iwai's pics.Full Review

Derek Elley
Variety

One of the most haunting, viciously honest coming-of-age films in recent memory.Full Review
