Brilliant. I watched it first with an artist, then with a psychologist. Each was as knocked out by it as I was.

Really make you think about what's essential in life. After this, you'll want to decide one memory of your own to bring to the afterlife too

could be a silent film. perfectly efficient storytelling. this dialogue and character writing style is sorely missed. actually for all ages.

Kore-eda shows he is one of the best directors working today. Arguably the most human story put to film. Memories are a power thing
