Even Though I Don't Like It

About This Movie

Even Though I Don't Like It is a peculiar little fantasy that mixes the mundane with the surreal. Kotoko, our confused protagonist, navigates her life as a model and bar hostess, where her romantic entanglements are just as messy as her dreams. The film's tone fluctuates between whimsical and melancholic, capturing that feeling of wanting more but being stuck in awkward situations. The pacing meanders a bit, reflective of Kotoko's own internal struggles. The performances are authentic, especially in how they draw you into her emotional turmoil. It’s distinct for its practical effects that enhance the dreamlike quality, making the viewer question what’s real and what’s imagined. A curious exploration of desire and self-acceptance.
