[Rating - KMovie] A Cruel Attendance

Story:
Interest: 1
(2 = I loved the story very much;
1 = The story was okay;
0 = The story didn't make any sense)
Coherence: 1
(2 = Perfectly crafted story, no missing links, well-thought out, whoever wrote this is a genius;
1 = It was coherent but the story wasn't mind-blowing;
0 = Some scenes strayed too far away from the plot, not properly concluded)

Movie:
Execution: 1.5
(2 = The director did a magnificent job, the movie was so clean and it felt so real;
1.5 = Above average but not totally impressive;
1 = Not bad, average;
0 = Did the director have such a low standard?, boring, should've read the book/script instead)
Effect: 1
(2 = Brought out all the right emotions from me (cry, laugh, get angry, cringe... etc), left me in awe;
1 = Almost cried, almost laughed, almost got angry.
0 = It didn't affect me at all.)
Acting: 2
(2 = The actors were completely lost in their characters, they gave me goosebumps;
1 = The actors were good but the roles weren't really challenging;
0 = The lead actors need to attend more acting workshops)
Casting: 1
(2 = It was a cast made in heaven, the acting and the faces were perfect for the roles;
1 = The actors didn't make much impression;
0 = They should have given the role to other/better actors)
Compactness: 1
(2 = Didn't blink even once afraid to miss a thing, enjoyed every second of the movie;
1 = Skipped some parts but didn't blink on some, enjoyed just half of the movie;
0 = Skipped more than watched, didn't enjoy the movie)
Cinematography: 1
(2 = Blew me away, creatively done;
1 = Just okay, nothing special;
0 = Did they even have budget for this movie?)
Scoring: 0
(2 = Helped in bringing out the viewer's emotions and I loved the soundtrack;
1.5 = The scoring matched the scenes or there's at least one song that I loved;
1 = At least the movie had a soundtrack;
0 = I don't remember if it had one)

Recommend? 0
(2 = You'll miss half of your life if you don't watch this;
1 = If you like the genre, watch it;
0 = Watch it only if you want to watch a Japanese movie and you've ran out of good movies to watch)

GOOD PARTS:
- The story is funny and heart-warming despite the heavy theme. The scenes developed gradually from funny to serious to heart-warming. The conclusion cleanly tied the lose ends together, leaving no unanswered questions.

BAD PARTS:
- The pacing didn't match the scenes. The movie's overall pacing is too slow, making it a little boring. Some scenes also lack impact, especially the ending. The funny scenes were funny but they didn't make me laugh hard. The sad scenes were sad but they didn't make me cry.

Total Rating: 2.4/5
