 A Captivating Story of Two Young Women Brought Together by FateJun 17, 2009
As someone who is fascinated by Japanese culture and Japanese social mores, I found this film to be a delight to watch. It has a bit of drama and humor with the roles of the two main characters, both named Nana, cast perfectly for the story (adapted from a very popular Japanese manga series of the same name: Nana, by Ai Yazawa). I first watched this film on Netflix and enjoyed it so much I had to buy it.
Nana 1 Rocks!Jun 06, 2009
This movie is extremely good! Even my friends, who thought they weren't into foreign films or didn't want to read subtitles, absolutely LOVED it!
This movie is not only wonderfully made, it was romantic yet rock-filled!
I completely fell in love with it!

Fantabulous MovieOct 03, 2008
I can't believe I didn't pick up this movie sooner! It draws you in and you wish it would never end! The cast is great, the music is great, everything is just excellent. I have only one complaint though. The subtitles. They take far too many liberties in the translation. The story is still the same, but far too many times I'll read the subtitles and hear them speak and say, "That is not what so-and-so just said!" If you can, I recommend watching without. If you don't understand Japanese though, you (for obvious reasons) probably won't be affected by it. Don't hesitate, pick up this movie now!

This is an awesome movie. I have read the manga and the movie is very true to the story. I would not recommend the sequel, however, since it uses different actors wth the exception of Mika Nakashima. She is a singer in Japan and does a great job portraying Nana.
