Zen Andrew Archer No cheap jump scares. No real gore, or much graphic violence at all.Just the horror of the human psyche, and the horror people can inflict on one another for a variety of reasons. Some scarily petty, some arguably justifiable.It lulls you into believing you know it's true course, then surprises you with another turn of the screw.So, so much better and more interesting than the tired formulaic Hollywood horror that is churned out simply to turn a buck out of the popcorn teenage market.Having said that, it's very good, but not a masterpiece.Just kidding. 10/10

ruby765 Each part of the confessions, most of which can be said selfish, makes this story. I'll tell you beforehand, but it continues in a matter-of-fact way, and never becomes bright. It's all serious. And it includes some social problems like the issue of bullying at school or home problems. I recommend that anyone who wants to become a teacher should watch it once because it makes us think about what education is. It shows the tragic fight between an adult and a youth, but we can't find any differences of large and small. You will definitely be attracted by the performance of the heroine, Takako Matsu, who is one of the most famous Japanese actresses. If you are Japanese students, please watch it. Maybe you'll think that your worry is too small compared with it and that bullying is ridiculous. I hope it'll be used as moral education at school.

binyonadam Firstly may I say this film looks stunning something western films lack! The plot is pitch black. Redemption and revenge but at the end you feel all the protagonists are sick but sick because of tragic pasts. If you simply want a revenge movie look else where,if you want a deep,thought provoking movie with a horrifying ending then Confessions is a must see!

Matt Miller A homeroom teacher, Yuko Moriguchi, suddenly confess a fact to her students. The fact is that her daughter is killed by two of the students. Before leaving out of the class room, she tells them that she will not call officers and already achieves to take a revenge. From the confession, some things are connected complicatedly and it is revealed who is the murderer and what her confession really means.Before watching this film, actually I have read ts original novel written by Kanae Minato. In the novel, there are some separated parts, and each story is told by different character, Moriguchi, one of her students, murderer A, murderer B, A's mother, and A's sister. Because of it, this film is also based on some narrations by the characters. Therefore, we can watch this movie as if we read a novel. I like the way and the structure based on the original.This film made me think about what is justice. Is the action which Ms. Moriguchi does to the students really good? My answer is in a sense she is right; however, there are lots of different ideas. I recommend to watch and think about this film.
