    Bold Direction. Deeply Innovative.

    A very stylish, engrossing, and darkly humorous film. While this film may take some strange turns with its storytelling, the aesthetic, sound, and vision are superb! I believe this is a film that we will look back on as ahead of its time and I can see a lot of the choices in direction being inspiration for many future films. The way the director uses video game culture in such existential and unexpected ways was fresh and very enjoyable. Many of the succinct and strangely deep lines, delivered perfectly by these young actors, will also stay in the memory long after the film has been watched. This film swung for the fences and, in many ways, was very successful!

    Makoto Nagahisa is a new mad man to follow in japanese cinema!

    This is my favourite "life is like a videogame" movie now. Previously, that place belonged to Brian De Palma's Scarface, but the final act of "Game Over> Continue>Yes" in this movie won me over the bad sequel on the Wii.

    Can't wait to explore more from this director in the future. You can find all his previous work (mostly videoclips) on his website. Also, make sure you watch his short movie "And So We Put Goldfish in the Pool." which shares some of the same style.

    Brilliant movie

    If you are sick of watching movies that look all the same and are meaningless Little Zombies is your solution to your problems. The aesthetics on this movie are awesome, there's a fine dark humor and it has some deep meaning, this movie shows the lack of empathy the younger ones have nowadays, growing up with no one who really understands them. This movie is so original and exceptional. It rocks.

    Fun and quirky!

    This was a breathe of fresh air! Really unique. Tremendous application of contemporary editing technique-- meticulous hyper-montage construction. There are times when technique hollows the film's emotional contributions but still, over all, worth the watch.

    A Reminder that feelings aren't simple

    Saying this movie was amazing would an understatement. It's a reminder to people that feelings aren't as fast as light and and sometimes we won't know that they are there right away. It also perfectly portrays how some kids react to death. An incredible detail I noticed is how the camera often tilts around character during their monologues the same way a child would lose focus when talking to an adult. This is the type of film you need to see at least once in your life. It's incredible to see a movie take on darker themes in a way anyone could understand.
