that unspoken bond between the sisters that warms the heart
It's like a 3D Ghibli film lol. Truly Koreeda's gem. No unnecessary dramas, just pure human emotions, relationships, highlighting the sisterhood of four girls. It offers insights into Japanese life and customs, and the cinematography is very pleasing to the eyes. All the casts are great. Not only they were beautiful and great in acting but they made it look like they weren't even acting at all. Hirose Suzu's acting here also got praised by THE Bong Joon Ho. No wonder it won the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year in 2016 and was selected to compete for the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. I keep on watching at least once a month and will never get tired of it. Truly a masterpiece. Must watch.
