Lesbian Rape: Sweet Honey Juice 1991
Very cold. All relationships poisoned. Iffy relationship dynamics to say the least, but watching Rei Takagi's character materialize her dreams, her fantasies, is potent and compelling. The ending is kinda bad, though I'm not sure what I wanted.

Terminatrix 1995
Tragically, the parody premise is more fun than anything in the film. I like Kei Mizutani. That's about it.

Godzilla Minus One 2023
Very careful to condemn imperial Japan and the wartime military, while remaining a conservative fantasy. It's very appealing and alluringly sentimental and romanticized. I liked Koichi's struggles, his nightmares, and Noriko and Akiko are effective as an idealized vision of family. The Godzilla scenes are quite good, but I seriously question tying Godzilla's defeat to Koichi's fulfillment of duty.

Ōgazumu Mariko 1985
The kind of film where you feel completely under the same kind of spell as Mariko. Gorgeous and full of vested objects. Blood, grapes, the moon, a memorial knife.
