I liked the movie! It's a bit sad, when you actually think about the situations that they're in. The two main boys, ran away from home and are selling theirselves for money. Lots of situations are like that. Towards the end you'll see how it really does affect them. Their relationships with other people, with each other it's really sad. Towards the ending i would've liked a better resolution with the two main boys. But, ill take what i can get. Nice film!
Intricately woven but beautiful coming-of-age drama. The last two scenes are absolutely incredible.
The traps one makes to provide a living of independence and the choices of life.
Very good movie. This Japanese depiction of rent boys is so unlike similar movies done in Europe, South America, and the USA. The focus is on two young escorts, exploring their personalities and their relationships. Highlights include an awkward family dinner at which the older boy and a customer are shocked to find themselves pushed together. The finale is a long, uncomfortable scene in which the two boys are forced by a customer to wake up to the reality of their lives.
