Netflix’s romantic series, I Cannot Reach You, revolves around two high school best friends, Yamato and Kakeru, who inevitably fall in love with each other. The Japanese romantic drama is a bit unconventional as it draws our attention to the gay love story, unlike other romantic dramas that usually include heterosexual couples. The Kawaii love story is sure to melt our hearts! The revelation of love comes slowly, as it becomes difficult for them to explore their sexual orientation in the beginning. What turn will the romantic affair between Yamato and Kakeru take? Will Kakeru reciprocate Yamato’s feelings in the long run? Let’s find out!
Spoiler Alert
Why Does Yamato Feel So Attracted To Kakeru?
Yamato, being the most popular boy at school, is followed around by girls all the time. Many girls are seen expressing their feelings for him, but he does not seem to reciprocate...

Japan’s Nikkatsu studio is pitching “River” at the top of its Tiffcom sales slate. The film – on which it shares rights with Third Window Films – is a time loop comedy from Yamaguchi Junta, director of “Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes.”
The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in a quiet region of Kyoto. An employee is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop! Not only Mikoto, but other staff and guests begin to feel something strange. Hot sake does not get hot. Rice porridge never gets eaten and there’s a bathroom that is impossible to leave. For all that people can’t move forward, their memories are intact. Some people want to leave. Others want to stay.

Time loop movies are all about finding the beauty in repetition; helping us understand our rhythms and routines, and find a way to think bigger. To evolve beyond what’s comfortable and familiar – to grow. So it seems only apt that Junta Yamaguchi and Makoto Ueda’s smartly-assembled new feature River, is itself a play on their own kind of familiar. Effectively a rerun of the team’s other time loop movie, 2020’s festival smash Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, River doesn’t so much build on that winning formula as it does simplify it, chasing soul over science-fiction, and ending up with something deeper, if a little too similar.
Sweeping long takes? Hyper-mobile camerawork? A chaotic farce with a hint of the fantastical? River does it all, again, often feeling just as much a quasi-sequel to Two Minutes, as it does a follow-up for Yamaguchi, Ueda and their troupe of actors.

In the wintry valley town of Kibune, Japan, we will find the Fujiya Inn. There we find one of the waitresses, Mikoto. They are sent to the basement to do a quick inventory count when Mikito steps out back where a small river runs behind the inn. As they look out they have a small prayer and go about their work. Two minutes later they're back behind the inn, in the same spot by the river. Weird. A case of deja vu perhaps? Mikito gets back to work, and… two minutes later she is back behind the inn, again. Something is wrong. They know it. The other employees and guests also sense it as well. They discover they are all stuck in an endless...
