Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Female protagonist; realistic portrayal of love and relationships
Cons:	none

I have never met a Japanese woman but online. But every mature piece of literature or movie tells that Japanese women are frustratingly secretive. It is not cute. This movie captures that as well. Nevertheless, the events (Moon, Baron, Seji, Grandfather) in her life leads her to the truth about herself and to face herself so that the end result is her being honest with herself and Seji. I love the movie.
