   If you're a fan of Toni Collette's - and why wouldn't you be? - Japanese Story is worth your time. She's absolutely stellar as a geologist forced to take a Japanese executive on a tour of the Australian Outback that doesn't quite go as planned. There are only a few ways this set-up can go - survival movie, romance - but is still manages to take a few unexpected turns, and without as strong a performer like Collette in the role, it might be much harder to buy into it. I love her initial impatience with the whole set of circumstances and am almost sorry to see the story move on from there, but the emotional core we reach by doing so is worth the journey through the film's red, dusty deserts. Each section of the film kind of has its own atmosphere and feeling, but the core does not move. It's a rock. It's Toni Collette. She makes you feel every moment, whether upsetting, pleasant or devastating. It's her. I'm not to sure about the story or its structure, but I'm very sure about her performance. 3 years 3 months ago
