Unwatchable - The World of Kanako review by Alphaville

Spoiler Alert
03/05/2017

An unwatchable mess of a film. The kind William Burroughs might have made using his cut-up technique. A mish-mash of confusing timelines, narrative non-sequiturs, disjointed close-ups and random editing. Like a talentless art student’s attempt to be different.

Apparently it’s about the investigation of a missing girl, but it makes no narrative or dramatic sense. It’s a mystery how it ever got released. Most viewers will have already given up on it before the opening credits appear.

Total mess - The World of Kanako review by nm

Spoiler Alert
06/02/2018

Couldn't watch more than 20 minutes. It was all over the place. Not a clue who was who but it was obvious it was boring and mad no sense whatsoever. Quite disappointed.
