Ny times calls this movie very dissapointing portray of the manga. They claim that film has failed to captivate the most essential parts of the comic.

It is interesting to see the transition of the manga into movie and how they often fail to capture the most essential parts of the manga.
I think its really interesting that some of the MOST important things are lost. Especially when you are reading the entire volume of Uzumaki its sad to see certain aspects of it lost. Even something as simple as Kirie famiy life? Where is her mother? her younger brother? losing these characters later on greatly effects the manga’s transition into film
