Review by Library Journal Review

Seeking vengeance against the boyfriend (Sergi Lopez, Pan's Labyrinth) he blames for his daughter's suicide, a grief-stricken Japanese businessman allows his assistant to hire an unlikely hit woman (Rinko Kikuchi, Babel), who promptly falls for her target. As the hired gun's neighbor and simpatico narrator of this fatalistic tale, a sound engineer goes about his job recording around Tokyo. Director/writer Isabel Coixet (Elegy) offers an atmospheric romantic drama whose flaws shouldn't deter viewers from her offbeat effort. (c) Copyright 2011.
