There’s no denying that the film was interesting with a great sense of mystery and horror, but Sono misses the boat…again. The only thing holding our attention to the film is It’s well executed disturbing, creepy atmosphere and confusing mystery, but thats it. Its got a great premise, and leads you on to believe it has crafted one of the greatest mystery’s ever shot on film. But it goes nowhere and dissolves into selfish social commentary on J-pop culture. It trucks along beautifully but he’ll steer the plot away from its natural course in favor of answering some existential issue (life, love, etc) even if it’s not whats important to the story and he’ll jump genres at will to do so. (he does the same with his most recent Love Exposure which could’ve been amazing but crumpled with his immature decisions) Apparently a close friend of the director had just killed himself for no reason, leaving no note and this event sparked him to create the film. Regardless it lacks a determination to finish the plot it started and has a blistering disregard for logic. If you’re a fan of films rife with unexplained events that raise a lot of questions and leaves a lot of clues in pieces then ending ambiguously. then Give suicide club the once over. otherwise be warned of the extremely disturbing violence and logical fallacies galore.
