09/02/2020 Very sound performances by this strong cast: and excellent direction. The only flaw is the slightly silly sub-plot concerning euthanasia, which is a bit artificial and didactic. See more 04/02/2020 I want to improve my listening skill of english See more 03/16/2019 I just loved it. The actors were terrific (especially Penelope Wilton)! There's a sweet soul in there....just have to find it sometimes. See more 10/13/2014 The subject matter was very deep. It really should've captured me, but it didn't See more 11/12/2009 The blurb and the video are about two totally different films. For the record the film I like is the Japanese one, which thankfully doesn't have that annoying American intro... See more 05/14/2008 really good, love the whole story line. See more Read all reviews
