"Plan 75 is a quiet, haunting drama that imagines a near future where the elderly are encouraged to end their lives for the “greater good. ” Chieko Baisho delivers a deeply moving performance, grounding the film’s unsettling premise in real human emotion. With its restrained style and thought-provoking themes, it lingers long after the credits, raising difficult questions about aging, dignity, and society."
"This film deals with some heavy subject matter that is also very timely. As the country's population ages and starts to tax resources and the economy, the solution becomes voluntary state-sponsored suicide. As others have pointed out, there are missed opportunities to explore various issues in depth, I don't think that was the focus of this movie anyway. I believe they really wanted to focus on the human side and how the decision affects not only those involved , but also those people who are connected to them. Overall, it was a very good movie and well worth a watch."
"Faced with a rapidly aging population, a Japanese government in the near future rolls out an unsettling agenda. Great release."
"A mesmerizing gem!"
"An enjoyable film."
"Dystopic in its setup, a really unnerving movie that is worth checking out."
"Been meaning to see this film since it came out. A great experience and a great release!"
"A heartbreaking fable about the dehumanization capitalism thrives on, as governments are sure to find the worst ways to deal with our aging societies. Chieko Baisho's performance is fantastic; I loved her scenes alongside Yuumi Kawai. Very interesting and thought-provoking A remarkable debut for Hayakawa, the story is so restrained that it feels honest despite its near-future setting and ultimately remains hopeful about humanity; something I wish my cynical heart could share."
