Comments

London Tommy Apr 24 2025 7:47 pm This is a bit heavy and a bit slow at times, but by the end of it, I really appreciated it.

Shades of Chekov and Ingrid Bergman with excellent performances all around.

Wisa Ho Jan 13 2025 11:45 pm The performance by Machiko Ono stands out most among all characters. She never fails to bring her role alive, for me she is one of Japan's best & outstanding actress!

Jay Quintana Jan 11 2025 2:30 pm I'm two episodes into this. Great so far. Koreeda rarely disappoints. But it's a little heavier than Umimachi Diary and The Makanai.
