About This Movie

Sayonara Midori-chan is this interesting glimpse into the life of Yuko, a naive office girl who juggles a part-time job at a café with her infatuation for her manager, Yutaka. The film captures this kind of light, almost whimsical atmosphere, but there’s an underlying tension when Yuko finds out about Yutaka's girlfriend, Midori. It’s like a slow unraveling of innocence, and you can feel the weight of her naivety as the story progresses. The performances are quite engaging, especially the lively dynamics between Yuko and Yutaka. The pacing meanders a bit, which can feel reflective, almost like Yuko's own journey. It’s a work that quietly critiques romance in a big city, wrapped in a blend of sweetness and subtle heartbreak.
