All Greens

Desperate to get out of a dead-end town that offers them nothing, three high school girls dare themselves (and each other) into the kind of get-rich-quick scheme that can only end badly. Sara Minami plays an aspiring rapper who needs cash for her sayonara-and-good-riddance-nowhere-Japan exit plan and her shot at making music; Natsuki Deguchi is the popular, rebellious classmate with reasons of her own for wanting out; Mizuki Yoshida is the withdrawn manga artist who completes the trio. As their terrible idea starts paying off, fear, ambition, and the pressure of keeping it on the low threaten to pull them apart. Takashi Koyama turns the teen hangout movie into a crime-thriller coming-of-age story: acidly funny and alive to the frustration of young people stranded in a world with no use or serious plan for them.
