Yoake no Subete (2024)

Panic disorders are scary but you know what is scarier than that? PMS!

To watch this movie you need to be in a certain mood. And I was in one of those moods; irritated, sad and depressed for no reason, which made me understand and feel for the characters. To connect with the characters I can say I was in every possible situation that they were in. It's a movie taking account two least discussed physiological and psychological problems which we often normalise as common problems, even if they are, it is different for each and every person.

A mundane movie with slow soothing instrumental music, showcasing everyday problems dealing with oneself and showing camaraderie, empathizing with people, made me pause and think. You might connect or you might not but sure you'll get a new perspective of life. Sometimes life isn't about extravagant celebrations but living in today and looking forward a better future of tomorrow makes you feel alive.

"It is an agony to live but I don't want to die".

As soon as I heard that quote from the movie, I literally opened my note app to notate it. It is so deep, meaningful , sad and quite realistic :(. I have so much to say about this movie but I dont want to spoil it and I want to give people the chance to experience it themselves. I want to thank everyone involved in this movie for making this types of movie. It matters. No wonder why this movie got so much critical acclaim and success all over the world. Now that I just finished watching it, I can understand why. It resonates with a lot of people; this is REAL. These are the types of subjects that are rarely addressed in dramas or movies, especially in a sensitive manner. I seriously want to thank the creators of this movie for this deep and meaningful movie; Mone ,Hokuto and all the veterans actors I recognized from previous Jdrama projects for taking part into this. A young woman who suffers from PMS and a young man who suffers from panic disorders and how they are attempting to navigate this life with their conditions that can be sometimes be very debilitating for them( I am not going to spoil it). Please watch this. Films like this MATTER. Stories like these are important to be told and I am so glad that it got so much deserved success worldwide. Lastly, Thank you again Mone and Hokuto for such formidable performances. I hope to see them reunite in another 3rd project in the future.
