[Is A.]

About This Movie

So, 'Is A.' from 2004 is quite an intriguing piece. It has this heavy, somber tone that really sticks with you. The story revolves around Detective Mimura, who finds his world shattered when a tragic explosion takes out his wife and son, and that’s just the beginning. Four years later, we see Yuya, the boy responsible, released from detention, and it’s like watching a slow burn of resentment and anger unfold. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to really soak in Mimura's turmoil. It dives deep into themes of grief, forgiveness, and vengeance, and the performances are striking—especially how they handle the complexity of the characters. It's not flashy, but there's a rawness that leaves a mark.
