Cast

Reception

The film was panned by audiences, earning 2.43/5 stars on Yahoo Movies Japan and 2.5/5 stars on Eiga.com, with viewers citing the nonsensical story and bad acting as its biggest problems while praising its visuals.[2][3] ScreenAnarchy stated: "Once again, Oshii Mamoru has made a film which is mostly for himself, treading ground he has covered before in other (and sometimes better) films. But as his reality-addled puzzles go, this one is actually pretty straightforward, and not too hard to solve. Most fans of his work will probably be pleased."[4]
