About This Movie

Install offers a quirky blend of comedy and drama, diving into the life of Asako, a high school girl who drastically reshapes her existence. The film's atmosphere feels like a strange mix of melancholy and absurdity, as she retreats from reality into a cyber persona. The pacing meanders a bit, mirroring Asako's own disjointed journey. What stands out here is the character of Kazuyoshi, a young boy whose earnestness contrasts sharply with Asako's escapism. The performances are nuanced, especially the dynamics between the characters, which reveal tons about isolation and identity. And those practical effects? They enhance the surreal feel, lending a certain honesty to the film's otherwise whimsical premise.
