cycleExmetalJuly 25, 2024It’s a film that appears heartwarming but is deeply despairing. The six characters span different life stages, with the little girl representing their past and the old lady their future. These people, living as unknown members of society from birth to death, survive despite being abandoned by society. Their temporary family forms a bond, offering mutual warmth, while their true relatives live in lies, indifferent to them.

José@8976July 25, 2024This film has Hirokazu Koreeda’s usual family drama style, but the unique family dynamics and added warmth set it apart. Additionally, it incorporates more social commentary, adding depth. The characters radiate warmth, narrating a profoundly touching and tender story with an underlying sadness and cruelty.

Extraordinary, moving and grounded drama by Hirokazu Kore Eda about a very special family, whose ties we slowly uncover as the film progresses. A poor family that struggles in the day by day.
Among some very good performances, of an incredible naturalness, Sakura Ando stands out.

LulitoSeptember 1, 2021Conmovedora y bella
Aunque se torna un poco lenta esta cinta me encantó porque narra de una forma muy linda una historia de amor y familia poco convencional atravesada por la ilegalidad. Los dialogos son conmovedores y muy bellos.
