Haru

Haru was a weird experience. I usually like to go blind when watching movies, so I had jo idea what this movie was about. And for 1/3 of its run time, I was confused. And pausing a lot. But I also was captivated by its presentation. I've never seen a movie like this. Half movie, half text. It almost reminded me of reading a visual novel. It was really cool being in the skin of both characters by reading what they read at the same time. However, I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the [spoiler]twist close to the end. I wasn't a big fan of bringing everything together. I liked the randomness of it all[/spoiler], so I feel conflicted about how to score this movie. I had no idea before (since it's a unique experience), so now, I'm even more conflicted. But I still like it. And definitely recommend it.
