The plot of the story is very complex and filled with mystery until the end. Not to mention that there are 3 perspectives being told so that we as viewers are confused about what is happening. The plot moves quickly, but the plot is to the point, so we are not allowed to look away from the screen for a moment. Coupled with the cinematography, it makes us feel more comfortable watching this film, and of course don't forget the neat background music.
Of course, it is thanks to the collaboration of Kore-Eda, Sakamoto Yûji, and Sakamoto Ryuichi that this masterpiece was born. And also the actors who succeeded in playing their characters well.
The "monster" is just a perspective.
