Community Reviews

Viewers find 'A Man' a thought-provoking exploration of identity, blending drama and mystery with a touch of romance. The film's slow pace allows for deep reflection on personal and societal masks, though some found it complex and challenging to follow. The performances, particularly by the leads, are praised for their depth and authenticity, effectively drawing the audience into the intricate narrative. However, the film's open-ended conclusion and subtle storytelling may not satisfy all.

👍 Deep exploration of identity and societal roles.

👎 Complex narrative may confuse some viewers.

- premiere partie histoire d'amour (pas trop mon truc) assez spécial la rencontre entre Makoto Hara (le veritable) et la femme mais on comprends au fur et à mesure - bien construit mais dérangeant à certains moments - images et sons magnifiques - où est le père de l'enfant ?
