A great story about finding what you need if you just look..., 28 July 2009
9/10
Author: Goh Mifune from United States

This is a hard movie to rate because it is very different than the usual fair. It isn't art-house, it isn't commercial, it isn't really a drama and despite the humor it isn't a romantic comedy. Asako is the story of many people, but primarily two people who are unable to find something or someone that makes them feel complete and how they handle and struggle with the emptiness they feel.

The acting is great, and despite it being on the long side and somewhat slow moving, the pacing is rather good, even great. The usage of the metaphor of the Ruby Shoes, which can easily be interpreted as a reference to the Wizard of Oz is great as it is a persistent reminder of what the story is about. Finding what you want and going for it.

This was a truly enjoyable and gratifying film.
