Fantasia 2018: Tremble All You Want Review

In this scene from the Japanese romantic comedy Tremble All You Want, Yoshika (Mayu Matsuoka) is trapped between her crush Ichi (Takumi Kitamura, foreground) and dorky, would-be boyfriend Ni (Daichi Watanabe).

Briefly: Tremble All You Want is a Japanese romantic comedy. It’s funny, with gusts to hilarious. There are some sad moments, too. I enjoyed it immensely, even though I do not like, agree with, or approve of the ending, and some other script decisions.

Would I recommend it to my friends, and to others?

For sure I would! I was going to say, I would recommend it to all but the most cynical friends. But on second thought, cynical people might find it funny too! Read the synopsis on the Fantasia web site by clicking on Tremble All You Want.

P.S. This is very short for a review, right? I will write more soon, but wanted to get these few words up to encourage Montrealers to see the film.
