The CinePearl Take
Kore-eda’s direction is as patient as ever, allowing the story to breathe while each frame subtly reveals hidden tensions. The standout performance comes from the young protagonist, whose shy, observant presence anchors the film’s emotional core. Themes of regret and the unreliability of recollection are explored with a tenderness that feels both personal and universal, even if the deliberate pacing may test viewers accustomed to faster cuts.
