For an essentially diagrammatic tale, hewing close to expectation, this is disarmingly forceful, compassionate, and tough.
Second Capsule:
Carefully balances respect for faith and tradition with protest of punitive practice. Stern storytelling, but not pitiless.
VOR:④
Would that all of Gitai's abundant body of work were this focused and sharp. Valuable perspectives on gender, power, religion, and culture.
