NiuNiu - Film Fest Review
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.

Student dropout Naomi befriends happy-go-lucky Maki, who lives with his blind adoptive mother Midori. When Midori becomes seriously ill and is hospitalized, Naomi and Maki send her tapes from an imaginary trip around the world. Their relationship grows while recording, but they only dare engage in rough, painful horseplay.
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.
A lonely little Hawaiian girl and her mischievous blue alien friend form a bond that heals both of their hearts, as well as ours. This live action version adds emotional nuances—notably in the sisters’ dynamic—while preserving the charm of the original.
Based on the fairy character from previous movies, this fantasy movie gives viewers magic.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.
This is a film that is going to leave some people bored, and some people thrilled.
