The Score: 8 out of 10
Where to watch: VOD
Nozaki Haruka is a new student who just transferred to a new school. Despite being bullied, she is still content with her life. One day her whole world is shattered by an unspeakable tragedy that leaves her broken and embarking on a quest for revenge.
-
The Shortcut:
Liverleaf is small town trauma, abuse, and catharsis in a creative and slightly ironic uber-violent style. There’s disturbing content, emotionally heavy moments, and heavy doses of tragedy, all with as much impact as possible. The acting needed a bit of fine tuning, but everything else here makes it a recommendable movie to watch.
-
The Long Route:
Liverleaf is quite an experience. Cruelty, abuse, trauma, and sadness abound in this revenge flick.
The story is relatively straightforward in the first half, but becomes much more layered and compact in the second half, with characters beginning to understand not only the consequences of their actions, but also the heavy weight of burden in the roles they play. Everything is written in such a way as to convey the most emotional impact, while also giving scenes of revenge a catharsis of sorts.
The acting could have been better, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Scenes of vengeance have full tilt madness to them thanks in part to the energy the cast puts into it, while the more emotional content occasionally falls flat due to actors not quite hitting the right notes in their performances. Still, it’s fine enough to not ruin the overall film.
Visuals are stylish, and yet take tragedy seriously. You feel the weight of the actions taken by bullies and by Haruka, but you also feel a certain glee during some of the ultra-violent parts as Haruka enacts gory and bloody vengeance. The camera work has a polish and skill that can only be described as expertly tasteful, always giving each scene the most impact it can.
There could have been more to the soundtrack. It’s an overall fine accompaniment to each scene, but never quite adds enough to become more than that. Sound effects, on the other hand, are the perfect balance of crunchy and squishy, especially when violence is on display.
If you want a revenge flick with more, then Liverleaf is definitely for you, and will fill that craving quite nicely.
