Poison Berry in my Brain

About This Movie

So, 'Poison Berry in my Brain' is an intriguing mix of comedy and romance, really. Ichiko, our protagonist, is 30 and lost in life, which is a relatable vibe. She bumps into Ryoichi, who's significantly younger, and there's this spark that's hard for her to shake off. What’s fascinating is how her psyche is split among these five different characters—Yoshida, Ishibashi, Ikeda, Hatoko, and Kish—each influencing her decisions. It creates a unique layer to the narrative, almost like a quirky internal dialogue played out visually. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow, balancing Ichiko's bittersweet moments with lighter comedic bits. The performances carry this charm that resonates well with the film's offbeat atmosphere. It's not your usual rom-com.
