About This Movie

Tripping offers a unique blend of fantasy and adventure, drawing you in with its whimsical yet somewhat gritty atmosphere. Rena Tanaka's portrayal of the rebellious girl is both spirited and layered, capturing that defiant essence of youth. The pacing has its ebbs and flows, fitting for a story that takes you back through time. The dynamic between the Taoist priest and the thief adds a nice contrast, with their differing worldviews clashing and complementing each other throughout their journey. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that complements the film’s indie feel. The themes of rebellion and seeking one's place in the world resonate throughout, making it a distinctive piece in the fantasy genre.
