Review of Tokyo Tribe (2014) by Delphinus C — 04 Sep 2015
I liked the style, I liked the uniqueness of it all, even though I'm not into rap-hop (quite opposed to it, actually). The concept of this movie was pretty awesome. It's unfortunate that it also kind of lets itsself down towards the end.
I guess it's partially black comedy, but it has some really silly elements, while also having some really serious and awful stuff in it.
The final act actually loses some steam in terms of Sono's usually adept editing and story-telling. As well as adding in some wholly-unnecessary CGI elements.
The movie starts out kind of normal, relateable, grounded, but as it goes on more and more ridiculous things are added to the mix. Eventually it becomes overwhelming, cartoony.
If the tone could have been kept throughout the film, without the editing starting to fail, I think this movie could have been a 3/5 for me.
Still, heaps of swearing and violence, sexual references and lots of nudity (boobs) to consider.
