NINOKUNI (Video Release Singapore 2020)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

NiNoKuni talks about parallel universes and how one universe affects the other universe. This good concept needs more screen time to make that idea work well. The film is complicated with many twists and turns. The story requires total involvement. It provides interesting intellectual interaction as one becomes introduced to the way the main characters relate to parallel universes. Not a movie for the times when one just wants background noise.
