Review of First Love (2019) by Barry Hertz for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 02 Oct 2019
First Love is neither a return to form for Miike nor is it a groundbreaking new leap into the unknown. The film rests instead in the mushy, bloody Miike middle – a pleasant diversion for the director’s faithful fans and an easy-ish entry for those eager to jump on the man’s over-the-top-is-not-good-enough wavelength.
Your Miike mileage may vary – but rest assured, there’s no barf bag required.
