The 2021 Japanese movie "Beibî Warukyûre" (aka "Baby Assassins") definitely sounded like a movie that could be a great and fun movie to watch, given its synopsis. And since I had never even heard about the movie, then writer and director Yugo Sakamoto had every opportunity to win me over with this movie.
However, I have to say that this movie was a train wreck of a movie. There was no red thread throughout the course of the movie, and director Yugo Sakamoto was all over the place, trying to be everywhere all the same time. It just didn't work out as intended, and the movie came off as a chaotic heap of a disaster. This movie fell very short of entertaining movie.
The narrative in "Beibî Warukyûre" was not only slow paced, but it was also somewhat confusing, and downright boring and pointless. And believe me, it was a struggle to keep focus on the storyline that simply never stood a snowballs chance in Hell. I managed to endure a bit more than halfway through this ordeal of a movie, and then I just gave up. By then I had totally lost interest in the erratic storyline and the character gallery that had as much personality and traits as a speck of dust.
At least the two leading actresses did manage to put on enough of performance to make the ordeal somewhat bearable to suffer through. But they honestly had nothing to work with, and it was showing on the screen, because they were struggling to stay above water.
"Beibî Warukyûre" was a swing and a miss of a movie. And this is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this movie in greater or smaller length, so you don't have to. And this is without a doubt not a movie that I will be returning to again, as I simply have no interest in knowing how the boring narrative pans out.
The movie's cover was actually, and sadly so, the best thing about the entire movie.
My rating of "Beibî Warukyûre", from writer and director Yugo Sakamoto, lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
