I watched this tonight. The picture quality is excellent and the subtitles are very well done. The movie reminded me at times of Black Swan, but in Japan and with fashion models. It's a fascinating commentary on the fashion industry and what some women put themselves through to live up to impossible standards for beauty. I enjoyed seeing Kiko Mizuhara (from Norwegian Wood) again and i thought Erika Sawajiri gave a brave and believable performance. My main complaint is that it felt a bit too long and there were perhaps too many endings. I would still definitely recommend it.
