Hold Me Back (Ohku Akiko, 2020)

Ohku finally hits for me with this iteration of her probing the modern lonely single woman with a rather loud inner life. You do hope someone gets better as they go along. But that may be all down to Non's central performance. Perfect romantic comedy lead and a movie creative, endearing and perceptive enough for her to shine in.
