'Confessions' is darkly gripping

A dark, sinister, disturbing – and quite brilliantly realised by one of Japan’s top directors – examines the emotions of revenge and search for justice and the dire world of today’s youth as teacher Matsu exacts retribution on two students she believes killed her four-year-old daughter and got away with the crime.
