Subete wa kimi ni aeta kara

Given that this was made for the 100th anniversary of Tōkyō Eki, it served its purpose, since each of the six stories directly or indirectly "bumps into" that location. Although it's set at Christmas, the Christmas spirit won't catch your breath because the Japanese simply take Christmas a little differently and you can clearly feel it from the film. Still, it's a nice disjointed romance that makes it to 4 stars truly by the skin of its teeth. Most of the cast gave solid performances except for Honda Tsubasa; unfortunately she didn't act for shit here. Otherwise, we get to see a lot of interesting acting faces here, so there's something for everyone. (17.11.2014)
