Unlike most films involving an individual with disabilities, in which the story is some hackneyed Hollywood feel good tripe, Late Bloomer instead paints a purposely uncomfortable portrait of a man tormented by an uncooperative body, and the effect it can have on the mind.

The brutally honest depiction of a marginalized individual who is frustrated by his inability to meet society's wants & needs, as well as vice versa, will unquestionably make some feel very comfortable. But even less doubtful is how extraordinarily brave lead star Masakiyo Sumida's performance is, especially the decision to use his real name when depicting a fictitious murderer.

You simply won't believe how an in your face, SOV + B&W film about someone with cerebral palsy on a killing spree can be... among other things... so incredibly stylish. The mesmerizing soundtrack by Katsuhiko Maeda (aka World's End Girlfriend) certainly helps.

Please be advised: in addition to depictions of intense violence, individuals with photosensitive epilepsy should also proceed with caution.
