...I think the plot has many inconsistencies. Also presents more than one character that are not well developed; may be that is the idea behind? In real life you do not know at all about your colleagues; co workers; schoolmates so may be is that the point? To have only a touch of possible associated stories.
So could be good but the assemble and composition finally killed the story (ies)
Restrained camera work with shots of Hakodate (a place where I stayed for a few days years ago) icons like the old trolleys and slopes and the Sea, of course. Colors are very natural and there are plenty of Sun light in most scenes. If this movie had been shot with a dark palette et all it could be finished as a somber story. Aoi always delivery; she is a great actress and Odagiri is a simple cool actor.
