Homestay (I) (2018)
6/10
Thanks to Jame's performance for trying to keep this movie away from disaster.

Warning: Spoilers
Even though it has interesting cast (especially Cherprang from AKB48's sister, BNK48), interesting visual effects, and great director (from Seub Nakhasathien's short bio film). However, by making it totally different from source material (Colorful by Eto Mori) turns this film out as another disappointment, with multiple storyline so we can't focus on anything. (Pi's harassment, Mom's affair, Dad's work addict, etc.) Even it keeps many element from source, but 2010 japanese anime adaptation still did it better.

The other thing that I totally disappoint is this movie soundtrack, if you listen carefully you'll noticed that this film has many soundtrack from other movie, opening scene from Blade Runner 2049, ending credit from A Silent Voice, and trailer music from Bumblebee. (But if composer thinks that this's inspiration, well okay...)
