Existential, deep, rich, emotional and so satisfying. A very slow burn so not for everyone. I loved its message, the pace, dialogue and cinematography -- but most especially the symbolism. Possible spoilers regarding these ahead.
Pay attention to the significance of: - Kafuku's glaucoma (blind spot) - Oto's lamprey and storytelling - The Uncle Vanya play. The lines they recite, Kafuku's method, "the text" - The car. How it is filmed, who drives it and why, where the characters sit, and that final shot.
