A thoughtful family movie
by mister_bateman2021-01-09
7/10

"A well acted, thoughtful and heartfelt movie about a patchwork family catching up on their past at the father's wake. We find the children rediscovering forgotten memories and discovering a hidden secret about how the parents met each other as they are confronted with questions and thoughts about family, blood ties, loyalty and marriage. It's a little slow paced but I enjoyed it. Thank you Japan for still telling genuine stories and providing an escape from the insanity of western film...."
