I was fascinated by the theme, in which a Japanese ryokan, a kind of wellness family hotel, is faced with a time loop. Every two minutes you are thrown back in time with the acquired knowledge of that period. In this way, the puzzle pieces and thought process can evolve further.
It becomes fun when - when the greatest panic is over - some funny guys perform tricks like suicide just to see what it is. That's it. The focus is entirely on humor and not so much on a scientific thriller. Anyone who is familiar with the work of Quentin Dupieux can certainly go here.
What bothered me immensely, however, was the enormous theatrical acting of the entire cast. Asians can do something about it, but here I found it particularly annoying. I also didn't like the very dull ending with that time machine. Very cheap and weak ending.
