The Ramen Girl

Last night, I saw The Ramen Girl, which is must say was very good. I tend to like movies with Japanese language in them because I get both sides of the story, which lends to a bit of a paradox. In English, it really is a terrible movie. I would give it 2 of 5 stars in English; however, I would give it 5 of 5 if you understand both Japanese and English. There is basically no way for someone without Japanese language to understand the nuances of the movie. The Japanese script is wonderful, and the interactions of the Japanese are lost in the English translation. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but most would not.
