jin77 May 15 2021 7:10 am It's a good enough movie. Wanted to check it out to see Yuki Yamada in a role when he's not punching and kicking people. If that's why you're here, don't bother. He's in it for a total of 23 seconds and says maybe 10 words total. Apart from this though, it's worth a watch.

Azis Jul 13 2019 6:50 pm The best drama family....

K Feb 26 2019 11:35 am Just finished watching this movie. Man! what a masterpiece. As expected from Koreeda! Great list of cast, everyone (even the child actors) plays their roles well. Sakura Ando especially, her performances is just brilliant!

doram Feb 22 2019 11:00 pm Maybe it's just me but I expected too much from this movie. This movie might won the award, but if I have to recommend Koreeda's film, this is definitely not on my top list. His other movies are still better than this... But again, this is just my personal opinion.

Aya Feb 14 2019 5:35 am The movie's heart warming and I really love Shota's character. All of the casts really did well but my attention was caught by Kairi Jyo. Hoping that he'll be receiving more acting projects in the future. The ending's unsatisfying though ?. How about Lin/Yuri's character? Aki too? Waaah I need to know so that I'll feel at ease. ?

n.k Nov 24 2018 1:20 pm Kore Eda × Lily Franky × Sakura Ando plus Kirin Kiki.

Aya Jun 10 2018 12:13 am I hope this will be released in Philippines. I would like to watch Mayu in big screen ???
