‘I Want To Eat Your Pancreas’: Sappy melodrama that doesn’t quite de-liver


Sakura (Lynn) convinces the protagonist (Mahiro Takasugi) to come with her as she shops until she (might quite literally) drops.

Ok, let’s get the obvious out of the way. No, this is not a horror film. If you are looking for zombies or cannibals, look somewhere else. Believe it or not, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas (Pancreas) is actually a slice-of-life, dramatic romance between two teenagers. There are no literal eating of bodily organs, pancreases or otherwise, anywhere in this movie. Which is a pity, as it really may have livened this rather predictable movie up.

All in all, this is a very divisive film. Half of its audience is going to absolutely love it, and will probably weep through every twist and turn of its emotional plot. The other half would rather actually have their pancreases eaten than have to stomach one more minute of its melodramatic story.
