Midori: The Camellia Girl (2016)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

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.

Please watch the original first. This is neat in that it’s visually and stylistically cool, but I wish they stayed more true to the characters. Towards the end Midori is framed as greedy, wanting more and more, rather than someone who is sort of just interested in escaping her fate in depravity circus, even through fantasies. the other characters were pretty non threatening. They could have made them more deranged
The twist doesn’t hit as much. It feels more like Midori is almost getting what she deserved because she had started acting like a brat. But the original Midori met her fate because she is basically just gullible and helpless. The original Midori was worth more than the fantasy world she settled for, but she was happy with just that at that point. Then even that was shattered. I think it was written well in that way. The story is less cohesive in this, I wish they stuck to the subtle plot points.
But it is stylish, how they brought it into a modern context was fun. 2.5 star

It’s a worthy live action follow up to the original animated version but I like the animated version better. I’m not sure I would have liked this film if I didn’t see the animated version first. 3 stars.

I haven’t watched yet, but I’ve seen the anime version. I can tell this will be beautifully disturbing and horrid.

can’t take the acting seriously whatsoever.. especially kanabun’s and ESPECIALLY the puppy scene. WTF was he doingggg, sucks all the immersion out of what should’ve been a horrifying and intriguing scene because bro can’t even pretend there’s a dog under his foot. Midori was great though, you could see the fear etched into her facial expressions and she adds a whole lot of depth and likeability to her character. muchisute managed to pull off being both a terrifying pedophile and a pathetic manipulator pretty well. my only gripe is how over exaggerated everything is. it definitely adds to the surrealist feel of the movie but the acting is just so overdone.
rewatched it sober this time and yeah the visuals are stunning but this adaptation doesn’t hold a candle to the original.

Midori…She looks so beautiful, so spoiled because of her pretty and neat outfit and had so many hopes and dreams…All that to be failed abused and raped. Even when she finally found her so called happiness it didnt last long.

The anime film and this live adaptation are different in places, particularly the last 10 minutes which casts Midori in a different light in each film. The cinematography, particularly the use of colour, really stand out in this film, It would be an injustice (imo) to directly compare each film to the other, not least as its comparing an anime to a live action film, but due to the different endings. While I prefer the anime, this film is still good and worth a watch. 3.5/5 paper flowers.

I’ll admit this was a pretty good adaptation I can’t believe they had the balls to make this anime into live action it’s not as brutal as the original anime but I will say it’s still worth a watch

This one was very Interesting. I do prefer the animated version, but this one also had its own charms to it. It’s interesting how selfish Midori was at the end of the movie, taking advantage of the old man and asking for his powers like that. Whereas it wasn’t like that in the animated version. I did quite like this though, and the different perspective on her character.

humm.. loved it!!! the acting and special effects come very close to the “so bad its good” ideals, and sometimes theyre just plain funny
.. a bit of highlights: *SPOILERS*
> the scene where a dude grew enormous balls was so random LMAO
> silver hair really rocked that jesus skirt, thats such a fashion choice
> the guy w no arms looked so pretty while he was dying. i want to print the whole scene on my forehead !!!!!
> also loved the guy who was running away with the manager – even if he had like 10 secs of screen time :”) –
> really loved midori’s shocked/pained expressions, yea theyre overly exaggerated, who cares
> bright colors :] really helped to give that “weird” vibe
