heartbreaking, but real. it shows you the harshest circumstances still have their happy moments

The movie is devastating and has some of the best writing to make you completely attached to the characters emotionally. So heartbreaking…

It's like the song, "Everybody Knows" but the opposite. Kids survive, mostly, after being abandoned, but it sure is not uplifting.

The only problem was the length of the movie but making this movie out of this tragedy is marvelous

Awh man this movie just hits you with all it got, and the fact that it was based on a true incident, it becomes more emotional, 10/10.

Based on a true story of abandoned children. Although it is deeply sad, it often focus on solidarity between siblings and joyful moments.

Devastating film with some of the finest, deepest child actor performances I’ve ever seen.

The saddest movie I've ever seen (after Grave of the Fireflies).
Sam

Devastating film inspired by the even more brutal 1988 Sugamo child abandonment case. Kore-eda specializes in making you feel empathy.
