I had such high hopes for this movie and I was so disappointed. Why? Because it had no plot, it was painfully slow, there was nothing memorable about it, it was truly unexceptional. I can't understand why everybody loves this movie, I suppose critics have perfected the art of brainwashing. This movie didn't make me *feel* anything. And I just love how people who like this movie insist that if you don't like LIT you don't "get it." I get it! And I also get that I have wasted my time and $ in the process of getting it! I think there aren't many American movies that take place in Japan (Tokyo) and people were just interested in the city?? I really can't understand why people love this movie so much. Totally overrated.
