Confessions (2010)

In both, a teacher is confronted with their students commiting a murder.
In Confessions, it's the teacher's daughter. She then tries to get revenge.
In Saiko No Kyoshi, it's the teacher herself, and she go back in time to prevent that.

The same taut atmosphere that delves in the psyche of students. no wasted scene or dialogue, flowing from one scene to the next seamlessly in an unexpected turn of events. both are amazing and one of a kind but at the core with the same ideology

Both connects with a Student-Teacher relationship. These movies made me speechless to the point I dont know where am I anymore. It also have similar events that was so dark yet emotional at the same time and it was just executed brilliantly.

Both movies give off a similar vibe with their execution and plot reveal. the stories come together in a strange way. and ofc the cinematography is visually stunning with confessions being more complex. girls in the dark is like ddlc meets confessions. amazing watches

In both these movies there is a murder caused by children and they both deal with the consequences and the moral side of this kind of action. Both are very dark and heavy movies about this topic so if you liked one you'll surely like the other. Although I felt like Confessions was more oppressive while Forgiven children was on the other hand heavier on my chest and more complex in the feelings I had when the movie was over (if you watch it you'll understand)

If you liked this drama you would also like this one cause both will give you the same vibe, you'll get to feel the affection of a mother to her child and that mothers can do anything for them. And the twists are also mind-blowing!

They both explore extreme, yet plausible, situations spawning from deficiencies in social relationships through the lens of youth. As I remember them, Confessions has less gore than Noriko\'s Dinner Table, but is still not for the faint of heart. Confessions may be just a tiny bit more cerebral.

confessions really has an interesting plot. i just watch aoi tori because of Kanata Hongo. i somehow thought they give you the same feeling when you watch em.

Both of them have the same genre and are from japan. It gave me a similar vibe when i was watching the murder of snow white.
and they both also have a very good stories and some plot twists on it.

Both deal with hidden, twisted societies, where seemingly innocent kids behave maliciously. While Confessions is a film in which several characters develop the plot by making confessions from their points of view, in the World of Kanako, former detective Fujishima has to uncover the appalling world of his daughter Kanako layer by layer. Two very dark films executed brilliantly.

Junior high school teacher Yuko Moriguchi (Takako Matsu) announces to her class that she will resign before spring break. Moriguchi reveals that because the HIV-positive biological father of her daughter Manami was ill, she used to bring Manami (Mana Ashida) to school with her. One day, after school, she returned to the room where Manami was but found her gone. Her daughter was later found drowned in a school swimming pool. She then explains that two pupils in her class, whom she dubs "Student A" and "Student B", have murdered her four-year-old daughter.

They both contain how much should we value our lives!

*psychological thrillers with more plot-twists than an episode of Murder She Wrote
*both include the loss of children, and grieving parents.
*both tackle the injustices in the Japanese law system
I would include more, but that'll be too much spoilers. (I honestly think I probably spoiled enough) Both films are worth a watch!

Both are about school teachers plotting to take revenge for being wronged, and with a student involved.

Both are horror. Also, villians are similar. Both are satisfying psychological thrillers. Both the villians murder the students in horrendous ways. Both have school settings.
