Cyborg Girl is a very touching and heart-warming story about a relationship between a young man and a robot that came back from the future. It was a love story. It also tackles themes of companionship, friendship and loneliness.
Wirtten and directed by My Sassy Girl and Windstruck director,Kwak Jae- Young Kwak wraps up his popular "My Sassy Girl" series with this romantic comedy about a lonely young man who falls in love with an emotionless cyborg. Jiro is celebrating his birthday alone when he crosses paths with a mysterious young beauty. After a lovely dinner together, the girl vanishes without a trace. Exactly one year later, the girl reappears to celebrate Jiro's twenty-first birthday. But something is different this year, and when the situation suddenly turns violent Jiro makes a shocking discovery about his eccentric new companion. As benevolent and beautiful as she may be, however, is there such a thing as true love between man and machine?
The acting was great in this film. Kudos to Keisuke Koide as Jiro and most especially Haruka Ayase for being credible both cyborg and a human being as well as delineating the characters of between the two. The chemistry between the two was commendable as well.
Finally,Cyborg Girl is definitely the best Japanese movie I have ever seen. No question about it.It is truly a classic!!!
score 10/10
