People are grossly offended by that one scene, dismiss the whole idea of the film and unbothered to give a fair criticism to the film itself. If anything that ending is the most exciting part of the movie after a long tedious “ride”. It’s mostly misunderstood, and rejected by many due to the infamous exchange of insults between Vincent, the director, and Roger Eberts. Nonetheless, the portrayal of a psychologically broken man is quite intense. What’s hard to grasp was the the decision making The Brown Bunny into a feature length, it would’ve been utterly fine as an hour short film.

amidst disorder, there lies composure. Koreeda is an expert at working through interpersonal tensions. The essence of hardship, conflicts without showing one, an intimate film that knows how to gracefully embraces its audience. So tender yet its focal message’s embedded with so much more. Definitely Koreeda’s overlooked masterpiece

Imagine having your career and life told in 2 hours. Your regrets you thought you never made, your unintended offenses spat into pictures, and life was in shamble now ceased to move forward. Undeniably one of finest films ever made
