  • Excellent storytelling, having the narrative repeated, each time from a different perspective, to gradually reveal the truth. Kore-eda rarely disappoints!
  • Very touching (as always).  I thought it was going to be like “The Hunt” – but it was still cleverer
    One of the finest filmmakers.
  • So unexpected. Loved it.
• ‘Very Good’: 5 votes
  • An absorbing study of perception, subjectivity and human foibles.  A comedy to those who think….?
  • Confusing at times.  Stunning performances – the contradictions of compassion, violence, parental detachment & childhood imagination.  Bravery of outsides & their mechanisms of survival??
  • Absorbing

  • Confusing film, but I got the idea in the end.
  • Beautifully filmed in places, but I felt it would make a better book.
• ‘Satisfactory’: 1 vote
  • Too many flashbacks, either I lost the plot, or the film did!
