Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

KineticSeoul The main reason I decided to see this movie is because it has Yosuke Kubozuka since I enjoyed some of the films he was in. This movie showed me that actor can actually play different characters than the character I seen in a lot of the movies he was in. He played the naive character that is 20 yrs old and yet has the heart and mannerisms of a soft hearted child very well. Although in another words he is a bit of a disabled character. I first thought this would be a action or rebellious movie with some romance and even some comedy thrown in, but that wasn't it. The plot is basically about falling for someone by coincidence and the obstacles some people face in life. Especially when it comes to friendship, love and family. And sometimes it did have it's moments and was touching in some aspects even if the movie doesn't really revolve around laundry. Personally I didn't like the slow pacing of this movie, it had a decent start but gets a bit boring after a while. But it does have it's moments and can be heartwarming at times as well, also for the most part all of the main characters are likable. Vulnerable and yet likable and thus end up caring how it will all end. However the movie seemed a bit longer than it had to be.6.5/10

Gigo_Satana Primitively speaking, there are too many bad movies with happy endings and unfortunately fewer good movies with sad or convincingly well crafted happy endings. Not that either comparison applies to Laundry, it's just that lately I have been pleasantly exposed to some extremely touching films that ended on rather gloomy notes, causing me for a change to crave more heartwarming tales of romance that even through expected sorrow and frustration managed to end benevolently.So I began watching Laundry and the first thing I noticed were the characteristics of the male lead named Teru played by Kubozuka, who for a nice change wasn't suffering from spasms or speech impediment, that we so typically are subjected to in similar drama pieces. Still with such a condition his setbacks aren't exaggerated nor is he stripped down to looking like a helplessly poor individual. Also gone is the sometimes overly dramatized cruel world of physical and verbal abusers, replaced with people who actually share their life stories with Teru and in return listen to his.Next is Mizue, played by Koyuki, who shines with modesty, although her on and off depressing ways hint for deep scars that she might be carrying inside, symbolically mirroring the real scar on Teru's head which caused him to be the way he is. Without giving away too much detail, their interactions are played off with essentially good chemistry. Koyuki is extremely beautiful and radiates subtle emotions with simple expressions and smiles. The story with her younger sister is very affecting in its short time.Ultimately I was pleased with how this film turned out, mainly how it avoided the very noticeable and frustrating digression of the story as seen in the Korean film Windstruck, which not only ruined the flow of the entire film, but radically replaced humor with tragedy. Laundry maintains all those elements harmoniously, letting them naturally float and complement the changes that the two characters go through.Give this film a try and hopefully you'll find it even more touching than I did.

Simone Pezzano I've seen many Asian movies and of course I agree that a European audience might need some 'training' to full enjoy cinematography from the far east. But this movie is different, though the time-line is typically Japanese, the storyline is simple and linear and the flow of the events doesn't contain real surprises, this movie succeeds in creating a strong affection among the audience and the characters: at the end of this movie, you'll miss them because you'll feel like you know them. Even though very intense and romantic, this movie includes very funny scenes and characters that let you relax and laugh a little. This is my favorite movie and I hope it will make you feel the way I feel every time a watch it.
