🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The Files of Young Kindaichi: Legend of the Shanghai Mermaid is a solid entry rated 7.3/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1997. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
