Summary: LOVE STORY IN REALITY
Review: The movie does an excellent job in depicting the affections of an obsessive type of love. The way the characters are displayed by the two sisters is believeable. The pianist is very unsure of his love that is why he loves both. The most romantic scene is where Gene is staring at the pianist mouth as he talks to take the memory of there first entrance into his house and then when he hugs both of them that is on the cover of the movie box. Now that is beautiful. The narrator has the perfect voice for this type of movie. Although Yoshi is just a character , the character represents a lot of men that a woman may admire from a distance. Gene's thoughts as she lives them and follows Yoshi to New York shows how far obsession can go. Excellent movie.

Summary: An infuriating disaster.
Review: This atrocity deserves no star, but Amazon requires at least one star from reviewers. The production values in this film, as well as the plot and the characterizations are appallingly poor. The audio engineering is so inept that one must have remote in hand to adjust volume from scene to scene, and even within scenes. The level of wit is childish and will appeal to all with a taste for bathroom humor. Direction and acting are on the level of a rural high school class play. The central figures, two young ladies besotted with a Japanese boy wonder concert pianist, appear to be in their late teens, but behave like prepubescent ninnies. Was hoping at least to see an interesting performance from Maury Chaykin, but alas. How can this be the same Maury that has since developed a superbly engaging Nero Wolf?...
