It's Only Talk

About This Movie

It's Only Talk dives deep into the psyche of its protagonist, Yuko, capturing the raw essence of her struggles with manic depression. The film has this almost languid pacing that mirrors Yuko's own sense of disconnection with the world around her. Shot in Kamata Town, the atmosphere feels both intimate and isolating—hints of everyday life juxtaposed with her internal chaos. The performances, particularly by the lead, are hauntingly authentic; you can really feel her ups and downs. Practical effects are minimal, but they don't detract from the focus on character and theme. It’s a film that resonates with those who appreciate the subtleties of human experience, a slice of life that’s all about the unspoken feelings that linger in conversations.
