Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World
Posted by martinteller on November 27, 2009
The Japanese must have a word for this kind of adolescent melodrama, they sure seem to crank out a lot of them. Defining characteristics: gently paced, often nostalgic, bittersweet, tinkly score with a quiet pop song over the end credits, frequently features a romance with some kind of twist. This one doesn’t do much to stand out from the others, but since I generally enjoy this type of thing, I didn’t mind. A little too long, though. Rating: 7
