English An ordinary movie, the kind of movie Okada Yoshikazu just knows how to write and has been doing since forever. That's why it's nothing special. It's sedentary, and strong emotions, when they’re there, run beneath the surface and rarely bubble up. It's that feel-good movie when you're just in the mood for something mundane. While it's true that this film is a bit of a "flight through the world" kind of film, it has a really powerful scene toward the end that makes it step out of the grey. A moderate cast, a sparse setting, an intimate drama about the relationship between a daughter and her father. ()
