Editor’s note: Here’s a quick take on Asakusa Kid (2021): Firmly a Drama piece, but with a personal touch. Gekidan Hitori keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Performances (especially Yuya Yagira, Yo Oizumi, Mugi Kadowaki) give the story human stakes. At 2h 3m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. Its tagline—“I'm a comedian, you fool!”—is a fair snapshot of its intent. If the premise speaks to you, put it on your list.
