This is perhaps Koreeda’s most restrained work besides Maborosi, revealing more of each characters’ grief with every flashback.
A very tender and heartfelt film, which is common for Koreeda, but something about this one felt more uniquely empathetic than his others to me. I’d say it’s probably because it’s working to humanize a demographic that is often demonized, and it’s using the grief of their loved ones to frame that humanity.
Great visuals as always, even if the quality of my stream sucked the beauty was still able to come through.
I think this one will certainly sit with and gnaw at me, so I may have to revisit and change my score. Love you Koreeda ❤️.
