Chotto imakara shigoto yametekuru

This movie came at the right time in my life. I guess it's safe to say that this little piece of insightful cinema saved me.

But not only does this film effectively inspire hope to those who despair due to the way the prevailing economic system treats its subjects, it is also a sobering critique of capitalism, how it drives people to destroy each other due to competition, and how it ultimately makes those who cannot conform to the values and demands of capitalism feel useless and empty.

This movie has a special place in my heart. Highly recommended.

For all those who are wondering if this is a boy love movie, honestly, it was more like friendship between two boys than love. The movie overall was good, with a strong theme and a nice plot twist. However, I did find it a little tiring, as it overexploited some scenes to the point that it was just boring to watch. So, other than the thinly spread of the story to match the time of two hours, the film had some great performances and it was moving and enjoyable. The ending was great as well. So 7 out of 10.

I hadn't heard about this movie, but watched it not really knowing much about it,or what it expect.

Its a great drama about contemporary Japan, about working in business, and about family and expectations. There were some unexpected turns, and the story unravels in an unexpected way.

A great story about life, family and friendship. Fully recommended.

This was a sweet movie. Sad, even tragic at times, but very sweet. I couldn't help growing attached to the characters and following the story with emotional investment. As someone feeling very similar to how Takashi felt, it made me cry.

I would like to preface, this movie IS NOT a comedy.

I was not really expecting anything when I first watched this movie, but what I got was an amazing piece of film that really hit home. This is a movie about the issues of work and personal happiness. The main character, Takashi is in the lowest point of his life, working for a soul-sucking company and under an abusive boss. But through a series of life-changing events and a meeting with a mysterious Yamamoto, Takashi comes out a happier person. This was an emotional movie with a fulfilling ending. I really felt attached to the characters and found the Takashi incredibly relatable to my life. This movie has changed my outlook on life and work. I would recommend this to anyone finding themselves in a rough spot in their own life.
