Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) by David L — 25 Jun 2015

Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter is beautifully filmed with terrific cinematography and gorgeous scenery and it is fairly well directed, but the script is weak never making use of its interesting premise and the protagonist is awfully flat, unlikable and just plain boring.

It could have been a great film had it been as amazing as its ending, but it unfortunately isn't and it's just passable because it is so lifeless, tedious, extremely slow and uninspired. It is such a shame because it had a lot of untapped potential.
