With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 11 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A short scene of a mother and her little son playing ball games on a set of steps together.
