Minori does not shy away from telling what is on her mind. She never takes part and awkwardly laughs and smiles at someone's terrible views and jokes. However, she keeps questioning the way people around her behave and think. To her, the world makes no sense. Minori is fed up with everyone and herself, too. She doesn't know if she wants to live differently. But people keep trying to let her know what would be good for her. They label her, put her in boxes, and often don't really care about her opinion and feelings. There is so much going on inside her head, you can literally feel how she is about to explode. She wants to be helpful, be a good friend and not depend so much on others. Someone wrote in their review how her not smiling throughout the film affected their film experience and funny enough, it made me watch and enjoy this film even more. Minori, On The Brink, is a film that depicts society so well in just conversations and silences. Minori never calls herself cute, Minori wants to be left alone. Minori might be depressed.
