It's a good movie but the story is giving me goosebumps. It's incest...how can you sleep with your own brother. But, Jun's portrayal is really good although I think her sister is bigger than him. I pity him when he piggyback her in the end while counting 1-10.
I think this was the best movie I have seen in quite a while. Its atmosphere was so thick that at moments I really thought I would choke on it. And Jun was marvelous. He portrayed his character so well! I loved the way I hated him because he was taking advantage of her and yet pitied him at the same time because I saw what it was doing to him. I was a little....hmm how to call it, baffled by the ending and dissatisfied, but then I found out how it was continuing in manga and I was content.
I definitely recommend this movie if you are into difficult and morally ambiguous stuff (well...ambiguous, there is nothing ambiguous about it, but if you watch it, you will find yourself wavering, I am sure). A fantastic movie for good thinking

i honestly did not know what to feel towards this film. it really challenges your morals. :P and it makes you think a lot. *sigh* it was cute and sad at the same time.
I cannot believe that I just watched this movie.
MatsuJun, what have you done to us? It's not just incest. IT'S TWINCEST! DX
I think the movie was dragging (as most people have already stated).
Okay, now the only reason I watched this is because of Jun... I think he did a good job. Not his best. But still good. His acting seemed more natural here than it did on HanaDan. It didn't looked forced or exaggerated this time. That's a good thing for me. *shrugs*

Agreed with everyone who said this film is dragging. The pace is quite slow, but it's not interesting enough to be that slow. We're supposed to feel that the whole incestuous love is not gross, in the case of Matsujun and Eikura Nana here, we're supposed to feel its beauty, its sincerity, etc, etc. Yes I got it, but after seeing the film I only got a "meh" feeling. I thought the idea for the film was brilliant, and it could've been so much better, and I guess I put my expectation a little too high, because to me in the end it feels like just another romantic film with nothing so twisted about it. It's not too remarkable for Jun's work. I prefer Tokyo Tower.
However as always, Jun makes for one helluva eye candy. I love his hair style here.
i wouldn't watch this movie if not for jun...i think the story is nice if the incest part would not be focused upon...the character of jun is unstable and i want to blame him for giving her sister more pain...the ending can make you cry at the same time i don't know...
i've been searching more info about the manga, some said that in the manga, they found out that they are adopted; however, i'm thinking that regardless of that, they were raised to be siblings...

Actually the topic of incest didn't gross me out at all throughout the movie...
But it REALLY bothered me that most of the movie was silence.
Lack of music, maybe?
Oh well. The acting and plot were really good
[ And Jun looked hot as usual haha ]
The topic of incest didn't shock me that much, in fact I just couldn't see the principal characters as siblings but as lovers.
Some parts were boring, because it was speechless and musicless I think, but it's a MatsuJun's movie so... I had to see it in the whole!
The acting is really good (as expected from MatsuJun), and I really loved the ending, there're few cuts, no music, actually it's my favourite part.

I had watched the whole thing raw but i haven't had a chance to finish the entire movie with subs yet.
So they might actually have been adopted according to the manga? But still, they're twins right? Or were they just told that they're twins? Interesting. I started reading the scanlated manga a while back but didn't get very far. Hmm, maybe i should continue reading it again some time.

Thanks, but i already downloaded the hardsubbed version when it was first released by Stormy Team. I just watched the subbed version half-way and then stopped. That's what happens when i watch things raw sometimes. But i really should finish it soon so that there's finally some kind of closure with this.

i dunno...
its kinda disturbing to me actually. brother n sister in love with each other.
i could not make myself watch it till the end of the movie.
im sorry. but my fren watched it n she said it was a sad story.
i dunno.
(edit)
but i'd give props to jun. his brave to take on this controversial role ne..
did it cause controversy in japan? with the whole incestous thing? i cant imagine it would go down well in australia especially with the religious people so that would add more hype to it.
