Awful because the premise of the film expects you to throw rational thinking to the wind. Appreciating it is akin to appreciating Superman.
On the other hand, the film offers awesome script writing in the two/three segments involving an old bearded gentleman.
Weighing both feelings, this Kore-eda film still offers more than what the American films "Her" and "Bi-centennial man" could offer. However, it does come up to the level of Alex Garland's "Ex Machina."
