CGiii Comment

What's with all the praise!?!

This review is incomplete simply because it was impossible to watch 237 minutes of mind-torturing codswallop.

After 60 minutes of near mental annihilation, the off button was depressed with rabid zeal.

60 minutes squandered.

The(ir) Blurb...

Three emotionally abused people from the fringes of society get locked in a convoluted love triangle. Yuu, a Catholic boy searching for true love ends up taking erotic photographs of women in public until he discovers Yoko, whom he sees as his Virgin Mary. Yoko, an antifamily, misandristic girl finds that her foster mother will be marrying Yuu's father. Koike, an "original sinner", coordinates a plan to convert Yuu's family to her cult. Under her careful direction, their lives come crashing together in one fateful street fight.
