Just Like Starting Over is an intriguing glimpse into the complexities of love and fate. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension and desire, fueled by Mitsuru Meike's direction that brings out raw performances from the leads. The pacing shifts from seductive to chaotic, especially with the fire that acts as a literal and metaphorical catalyst. The love triangle between Asako, Yamada, and Sudo is layered; it captures the unpredictability of human connections in a very visceral way. The practical effects, particularly during the fire scenes, add a gritty realism that enhances the emotional stakes. It’s not just about romance; it's about how chance encounters can shape our destinies in unexpected ways.
