COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Strange and somewhat troubling submitted by willow on July 25, 2016, 9:57am This is a thoroughly strange movie about a kind of weird office lady in Japan who is obsessed with "Fargo," and so travels to the U.S. in order to find the treasure shown buried there. It is weird and sad, but also quite poignant and at times funny. The characters are quirky in a Fargo-eque way.
