Reception

Critics praised Shinichi Tsutsumi's "always excellent" acting and Yui Natuskawa's "superbly modulated performance".[3][4] Others criticized the story: "Though somewhat melodramatic, and with a highly convoluted story rife with subplots, the film has enough intensity to keep its momentum going."[2]
