This film seemed directed by an amateur. I don`t understand why it got such great reviews. It's kinda bad (not actually terrible, but almost). Flaky flaky. The camera work seems old and the acting isn't anything to write home about. Bill Murray does ok. He isn't being the off-the-wall character he usually plays, but his smirks are quite endearing. She cries a lot, although we can't be sure why. She's obviously not comfortable with her husband's job and the people he deals with, but, didn't she know that before. They have been married for two years already. In any case, her problem is not Japan or his job. They're just not made for each other. The ending was ok because it was "real". They couldn't really have gotten closer together. Still, a weak film all along.
