Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for people who love a story where everyone knows everyone and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). The small-town setting is half the character. Same wavelength as Little Miss Sunshine or Chocolat. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

As a family-run confectionery shop in Kagoshima struggles to stay in business with increasing competition from local supermarkets, the family's three daughters experience various troubles in their private lives.
