Still Walking

Still Walking is my second film from Hirokazu Kore-eda, and it’s a beautiful, minimalist family drama. Through small gestures and everyday conversations, the film captures family bonds and the unspoken pain that lingers after a loss. It’s not about dramatic confrontations, but about what remains unsaid; the resentment, the guilt, and the love that exist simultaniously within a family. The writing left me genuinely at a loss for words at times, the dialogue feels effortless yet precise, explaining emotion without ever literally spelling it out. Every interaction feels alive and painfully real, making the film less about grief itself and more about how people learn to live alongside it. This movie shows dealing with a loss in a way I haven't seen before, and it does it perfectly.
