Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Julla Sulla This movie is different, it's hilarious, yet violent. I can't recall seeing a movie with a similar story. It's creative, the execution was great and the acting was wonderful, no complaints whatsoever.Since there's already a summary, I won't get into that, if you're looking for a a movie that will entertain you for in between, this is a good choice, it's pretty short and doesn't make you think all day, but will have you entertained from start to end. Even though it's short, you will be able to 'get to know' the characters quite a bit. Some people I know didn't want to watch it because they were afraid it would be dull and the girls would just 'be there', that's not the case at all though. I totally know with which one I'd want to share an appartement with.As always: Entertainment: 8/10 Violence: 6.5/10 Sex: 0/10

Maz Murdoch (asda-man) 2LDK is one of two films from the duel battle. I didn't even know about all this duel stuff until I actually looked on Amazon for 2LDK and found that it came with another Japanese film called Aragami that I'd never heard of. Nevertheless I bought it because it was cheaper as two pack even though I wasn't that interested in Aragami. Well I watched them both and I have to say that 2LDK wins the duel hands down! The idea is very appealing, two directors making a film in one week, using two main actors and only one set. Yet despite its constraints it still remains devilishly more entertaining than most Hollywood hokum that exists out there. It's a rare gem that more people most definitely need to see.2LDK only lasts 1hr 10mins which is roughly the same length as REC and Inside. However, like those horror masterpieces it relies especially on quality rather than quantity. I was pretty much hooked from the moment it started and we're introduced to these two pretentious actresses who secretly hate each other. 2LDK is very funny in its opening moments with the actresses acting to each other, acting like they like each other, when inside they can't stand each other's guts. It's (without trying to sound too sexist) is what we imagine all women to be like, a little bit bitchy, but these two are as bitchy as it gets!The film does well making us care about these characters even though they aren't particularly likable. It's difficult to pick a side when they're both knocking each other senseless, but I also think that that's kind of the point here. 2LDK sizzles itself with terrific tension in the first half hour, where the girls begin to speak their minds, showing off their weaknesses as characters. When the fight finally begins, it hits you like a train! It begins with a few light slaps and escalates into complete mayhem. The over-the-top nature of the fight is actually very humorous at times and suitably brutal at other moments.It's the ultimate cat fight and reminiscent of the fight between the Bride and Elle Driver in Kill Bill Vol.2 only it is the main focus of the film. It's fantastically entertaining and very innovative, with the girls resorting to using everyday household items as weapons of murder. I can honestly say that I've never seen a toilet lid used as a weapon before! I also liked how the characters were actually quite deep, with each of them clearly having a difficult past, making you care about the fight because of the two-dimensional characters involved in it. The directing is also way above par. The setting is never boring thanks to the inventive camera angles and energetic directing. There's some great controlled shaky cam moments that really capture the rage of the fight!2LDK is pure entertainment and is the type of fun film you can watch a lot of times and never get bored. It's incredibly funny in some places and the ending was near-perfect with some painful irony that actually adds a lovely dark comic edge to finish on. I also loved the irony of how the two women were failed actresses, but their actions in one night are enough to make an incredibly entertaining film. 2LDK should be a cult classic, and loads more people should be seeking it out. It's innovative and something completely different to what we're used to. I believe an American remake is on the way, which should hopefully get more people watching this little gem!

beyondthegore For those of us not familiar with seeking accommodation 2LDK simply stands for two bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen. Bought in a cheeky box set with Suicide Club and Moon Child (reviews to follow soon). I was not expecting much to be fair.Now the thing I like about this film is that it doesn't mess about, as the envy builds between the girls small problems in the house which usually wouldn't mean anything get turned around as ammo and a chance for them to argue with each other. It's not long before the crap hits the fan and these two girls want to pull each other's hair out….literally. We get to see a much darker side to both characters as the film progresses....Read the full review at: beyondthegore

8thSin Watching this after Kitamura Ryuuhei's "Aragami", I personally believe Tsutsumi Mikihiko has won in the Dual Project.Using "inner voice" in the beginning really seemed like something a film school students would do, but it turned out to be pretty funny and really helped show the pent-up frustration within these two women, which eventually rationalized the showdown.I like how the director depicted the series of humiliation to opponent as the most important factor in girl fights as opposed to physical pain inflicted as in male battles. That's so true in real life.This film had a distinctive B-movie quality with sloppy production and poor camera work etc, but enjoyable nonetheless. Although the concept of only 2 main character in a single setting was quite interesting, it clearly is a huge handicap against normal movies. The "Dual Project" should never be done again.
