Fantastic Fest: Love & Peace (2015)

Anticipated Japanese movie.  Director Sion Sono.  Director of Suicide Club, Why Don't You Play in Hell?, and Tokyo Tribe.  This is a movie very different from his catalog.  Weird but not too over the top.  Sweet story.  Almost cried in one scene.  Very different.  At times, it got annoying but the set-up and the ending was very sweet.  This turned out to be a Christmas movie.  The best Christmas movie to see with a kaiju turtle, a loser type who rises to music stardom, and talking magical toys.  It was ridiculous at times but dammit that song was catchy.  Enjoyed it.  
7 out of 10.
