This is a story about a family whose father/husband is a man with Alzheimer's and his slowly deteriorating mental capacity as the years progress. How his family deals with the knowledge and how they learn to adapt and grow as a family throughout the hardships that entail. Overall, the family bonds, the consideration turned apathy that returns to consideration again -- all these little things were delivered relatively well.

However, I do have qualms about certain aspects. The stiff and unnatural acting from some actors, the dissociation the structuring of the movie makes the viewers feel that could've easily been fixed with a simple floating subtitle that mentions the current date during flashbacks, the lack of any noteworthy OSTs and usual lack of post-production quality of majority Japanese works; high frames but lower quality and a severe lack of post-production.

Given these things, it was hard to rate this accurate but as far as I'm concerned I didn't necessarily regret watching this, and it was rather heartwarming too at times, hence a 7 star rating seems fair.


P.s. I see there are no reviews here -- I mean, no oppas in this movie after all, lol.
