Trivia
Based on the novel "Confessions" by Kanae Minato. See more »Goofs
At the 1:24:49 mark, when Yuko is crying on her knees in the street, a distance shot shows her getting up. Almost immediately, just 2 seconds later, we are shown a close-up of her suddenly back down on the ground. Then 6 seconds later, we see a distant view with the same shot of her getting up again.

Yuko Moriguchi: [about Shuya Watanabe] I was so disappointed to hear he wasn't being bullied anymore. I thought it best to surround him with hostile classmates until either he killed himself, or one of them did it for him. I guess you're a nicer bunch than I thought, yea?Mizuki Kitahara: [freaked out] Ma'am...

Kokuhaku (or Confessions) is a real winner from Japan. Just like the title, the movie is about the Confessions of a group of people. After each confession, a new detail is added into the story until it became a complete story at the end.
I feel empty. Very disturbing. The movie remains dark and cold from the beginning until the end. A great thing in this movie is that you don't know who you should hate. Yes, it's obvious that they have done something terribly wrong, but after each confession, they suddenly became the victim, and then after the movie finished, you ended up feeling the sympathy for every characters.
The acting in this movie is absolutely fabulous. Just look at those eyes of the students. Cold and heartless. I watched it with my mouth wide open. The plot is perfect. I don't know what to complain. There are even some bloody scenes added to it, which make the movie more interesting.
I love it.
