So much average

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Surprised to see so many written reviews. I don't know if I like this film or not but I understand it. I'm annoyed that so far I don't see any appreciation for the end credits song, "Bubbles of Water." The lyrics state: "they kiss, become one, and then they float apart they slowly grow, then they burst and sink back into the sea somehow... somehow... they are just like us..."That tied the film up right there. As collectively odd as their issues might be, whatever; they're another troubled family in the world.I love Kenichi Endo as well; I have as many of his films and TV shows as possible right now, and his face is my background photo.

I am a fan of disturbing, limits pushing movies. I can easily say i've watched many of the genre. So let me express my puzzlement about the comments on this movie.A movie must be really original and really deeply offensive for mankind to be called "disturbing". This movie may be psychologically disturbing in some level but has nothing original and deeply disturbing, if you think about it. Let's assume you will make a disturbing movie about a family, what would you write to disturb people? Incest sex, violence, shared crime? And of course the family members must be insane. Everyone can think of these. So, what is so original and disturbing about this movie? Sorry i can't see it.

well..explaining visitor q in a few words is quite difficult.The amazing thing about this film is that while it shocks you, the same time you can't help but laugh at the weird and comical situations. The humor is excellent and well written. Watch out for the performance of Kenichi Endo who plays the father. He is truly hilariously especially in the necrophilia scene. Many have said that this film is an updated version of Pasolini's Teorema but frankly according to me this is way better than that. visitor q belongs to the same category of other Miike classics like Audition and Ichi, the killer. If you are a fan of strange twisted cinema then you are in for a treat.

I don't like all of Takashi Miike's movies but I found this one to be pretty enjoyable, despite it being quite an odd movie. But well, that's just Miike's thing, so be sure what to expect before watching this.Miike's handles all kind of different styles and themes and blends them together into this movie. It has lots of crazy characters, a bunch of violence and also a large amount of sex and nudity this time. This gets all combined with its absurd story, that strengthens all of its other themes, making this an odd as well as an unique viewing experience.Despite all of its heavy visual themes, with violence and sex, the movie is above all things also strangely entertaining to watch. Miike puts in his trademark comedy, that often makes this movie a light and pleasant watch, despite all of the heavy things that are happening on screen. He knows to put in the comical touches at the right place and at the right time.Of course it often is a hard movie to understand and follow because of all of its unusual themes and not so every-day common characters. It therefore also really isn't a movie for just everybody but if you are willing to give this movie a change with a clear mind and don't try to think too much about it all, until afterward when things start to seem to make more sense to you, changes are you might end up enjoy watching this movie.It's a movie that gets better as it progresses. At first it all is one big blur to you but later on things start to clear up more and you're able to understand some of it's themes and intentions of Miike. Everything starts to come together to you and suddenly what normally seems strange now seems perfectly normally, once you're drawn into Miike's world.A movie worth giving a go.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
