Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
fallguy-60871 Stumbled on to this gem on youtube. The trailers give the wrong impression of the movie's pace & content. Tokyo Newcomer is gentle, quiet & has hidden depths.
