Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.
Click this first
A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Directed by: Shinya Tsukamoto
Starring: Cocco (Kotoko), Shinya Tsukamoto (Seitaro Tanaka)
Country: Japan, Asian Cinema
Language: Japanese (English Subs)
Runtime: 01:31:30
Genres: Mental Illness-Depressing, Violence against Men, Self-Harm, Family, Gruesome
Plot – Spoilers:
Kotoko has a problem. She sometimes sees in double – as in, two versions of people. One of them tends to be aggressive to her, which leaves her pathetically helpless and confused while going through her daily life. This isn’t her only worry though – she also has a baby boy and feels everyone is out to harm him. And even worse, she isn’t convinced she won’t harm him herself.
Kotoko deals with her fears by indulging in cutting or through random acts of violence on men who take an interest in her. After a while, it becomes hard to separate her reality from her delusions. What’s easy though, is to vicariously experience the misery of most of her waking hours.
Compared to Shinya Tsukamoto’s early films, this is so sensitive a work, you feel it must be coming from a place that’s very personal.
brilliant
An extraordinary film on so many levels. Jawdroppingly intense and yet subtle performance by Cocco.
Daijoro is so cute :3
I also felt super bad when Kotoko got attacked by Seitaro Tanaka as her hallucination
Really sad movie, I cried almost twice while watching it. It has a rlly good message on mental health in Japan nowadays, I felt rlly bad for Kotoko too. Would definitely watch again ^_^ sad, but rlly good.
It looks good on camara but using a real baby for that kitchen scene was wild. good movie tho kida wish she killed the kid he was pretty annoying.
The beginning made me cry but atleast ending wasent bad !!!
comfort movie
I’m so glad that had a happy ending ♥️
this was another movie that i wasn’t sure if everything happening was reality or her imagination. (the machinist is another one, one of my favorites) but, this was harder to watch because she was experiencing all that knowing she has mental issues. the movie is very well made and very sad to watch…
A little obnoxious
holy shit cocco is incredible in this
Decent movie but too much singing made me tune out
amazing movie, anyone who didn’t like it just hasn’t experienced mental illness. good for you honestly ! googled the movie and apparently the story was written by kotoko’s actress (who’s actually a singer) so no wonder she could embody her character like she did. so fucking cool
I’m not crying, YOU’RE CRYING
Beautiful movie, probably my favourite now, thank you so much EUM
Suffering from any form of mental illness whilst raising a baby as a single mother is diabolically laborious, self-care evaporates and seclusion is tranquility.
Evocative. Lamentable. Beguiling. Efficacious performance.
LMAO @ 42:58. Thanks for the movie.
A very sad story, the movie depicts the life of a woman suffering from a mental disorder trying to protect her son from dangerous imaginary situations. Although she sometimes seems aware of her insanity, she has accepted the fact that her son is going far from her to her sister’s custody. I personally think that her mental status wasn’t that bad if she was helped earlier.
I enjoyed the movie, the music is quite good though, the songs are nice, even if in the context I can’t say they are uplifting. I think the whole ordeal is portrayed in a very interesting manner, I just wonder how can someone with such a severe problem not be detected and got some sort of help, on the early stages. I see people comment on the woman being skinny, well considering how her life is…it does not surprise me one bit, I don’t understand the “kill all men” comments, she was violent towards ONE, and well, she has serious issues.
I liked the end.
I liked it. The ending was cute and sad as fuck but very nice.
Kill all men. ♥
Kotoko is basically a manic pixie dream girl getting away with hurting everyone around her just because she’s attractive
