It achieves that magic combination of nuance, depth, and having a big heart that makes it both a crowd-pleaser and a favorite of critics.

37 Seconds is a remarkably frank and surprisingly warm depiction of disability, care-giving and sexuality.

A slow social drama that make us think about what is to be like the main character. Worth watching.

Sentimentality and pathos are banned from Hikari’s screenplay, which surprises with its fresh, often humorous realism. This is one of those films that starts slowly and predictably, but when the turning point comes, it lifts the pic into another dimension.

This isn’t the anodyne, awards-baiting film about disability that viewers might be used to; instead, Hikari’s feature debut is sensitive and empathetic, showing a young woman who is more than just her cerebral palsy. Yuma is a wildly creative, sexual person who deserves more than her society often gives her.

Hikari’s work is well-meaning, and Kayama delivers an affecting, but not affected, performance that almost holds the story together. Eventually, though, the film loses confidence in itself.

With great acting performances, an interesting plot, likable characters and a satisfying ending, "37 Seconds" is an emotional, touching movie that should appeal to most audiences.

This is another coming of age story, but the approach it's obviously distinctive because its main character is a young woman with cerebral palsy. Nonetheless it shows a very known truth that films usually get wrong: People with disabilities are human beings with the same desires of any other person. Although the protagonist is already 23 years old when she begins to open up to another world that she simply wasn't experiencing, she lives it without fear and that's something very important for the character development and for the story. 37 Seconds has much merit for it, because it's not telling a different coming of age story, it's just another and necessary perspective of that story. Although the third act gets lost a little and despite the good pace the duration seemed somewhat excessive, in general terms I enjoyed this film.
