Han S Jan 14, 2019 Well... this was a different kind of movie, to say the least. Going into the final act I was not a fan of the film and couldn't for the life of me understand how people could like it, let alone be giving it 4.5* and 5*. But then the last hour of the movie really salvaged it. The upskirt photography, which is required for the plot of Love Exposure is uncomfortable and way too over the top (not at all in a good way)... it's really uncomfy because they're showing girls' panties who look like they're 12-13 years old. How anyone can watch that and think it's nice art is just messed up in my book. I'm sure (or rather I really really hope) all the girls were at least 18 years old and they must be because I can't find any uproar about that issue. Other than that I would classify this as more of a comedic love story than anything else. There are definitely some thrills to be had, and some dramatic moments, as expected in a 4 hour movie. The thing that really boggles my mind is that wiki says the film was originally **6** hours long but had to be cut down to 4 at the producers' request. I don't think any 1 movie can be or should be 6 hours long. Even for Sion Sono - who is the only reason I watched this epic movie. See more

Han W Mar 2, 2018 This is ridiculous stuff! I wonder how come it is regarded as one of the best Japanese films of the 21st century. It might be sheer nonsense on purpose but its hard to sit through the running time just short of 4 hours. The beauty of the whole thing is that nothing makes any sense and it was almost impossible to connect with the characters at any level. Sure it is different, but very hard to digest. See more

Harry R Dec 26, 2017 Worth your four hours.

Luke R Jul 19, 2017 Even though it is long by regular movie goer standards, you will not notice the time while watching it! The plot is complex, but it all comes together. I am not sure this is the best translation of the original Japanese. I would have maybe translated it as "Revealing Love". While religion features prominently in the movie, it is not a religious movie, love in its different forms and its power is the main theme. Happy Watching! See more

Harry W Jul 13, 2017 Runs far too long, but the story and characters are interesting enough to keep you engaged throughout. Quite an offbeat, but touching love story. See more

Leia M Mar 18, 2017 Sinful to watch, yet creatively done. Perhaps the weirdest Japanese movie that I have watched.
