Monster

“Are they the ones we dream of, or the ones we fail to see among us?”

In a small Japanese town, Saori Mugino (Sakura Ando) raises her son Minato (Soya Kurokawa) alone and notices disturbing changes in how he behaves. She goes to the school to confront a teacher, Michitoshi Hori (Eita Nagayama), and the answers she gets only deepen her suspicion. Hirokazu Kore-eda directs from a Yuji Sakamoto script, with Ryuichi Sakamoto's last score under it, and Saori keeps pressing, her son quiet beside her.
