Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) by Jason B — 16 Nov 2015

When I looked at the final score for Kumiko I was a little shocked. I typically punch in the numbers as soon as possible after watching the film but when I look back I cannot question my attributions. Kumiko is an interesting film about a woman who clearly has some sense of mental illness, probably depression, and becomes entranced with the idea of seeking out and finding the buried treasure from the Coen Bros. film Fargo.

The lowest scoring attribute, in my opinion, is the editing. There are times that the film lags on and I feel it could be re-organized to work a little better. It is a good movie, and I expect to watch it again down the line, but I don't really think it is for everyone.
