Unfortunately, A Director with a split personality

Nami Tsuchiya this time (The name not the character is reused) is a journalist for a women's magazine. She is doing a series of articles on the experiences of rape victims often hounding them for pictures and an interview. Along the way she meets a man that they share a connection with the research.

The first hour was very interesting. Does a deep dive in the experiences of the rape victims and their current situations. You also get Nami's perspective as she both sympathizes with the victims as she doggedly pursued them. The last half hour it becomes very surreal including several dream sequences. The characters towards the end don't even do things you would expect normal people to do. Several WTH moments.

I was very engaged in the story until the last 30 minutes. Then it all went south. A movie I would have rated a 7 or 8 ended up a 6 or more accurately a 5.5.
