      James Marsh South China Morning Post The myriad challenges faced by a young woman from primary school to marriage are chronicled in Japanese director Tetsu Maeda’s And So the Baton Is Passed, an agonising odyssey of bad parenting and mawkish melodrama that long outstays its welcome. Rated: 1/5 Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Ashley H One of the movies I liked as much as the original book. You can never guess the plot of the story, it's just so well written. After watching this movie, I am sure you will want to go give a big hug to the ones you love. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review redpikachu84 At the immediate halfway point of this movie I was extremely annoyed. They had reached an extremely thematically satisfying point and a perfect place to end the movie. "You stupid idiots, how can the second half of this movie ever surpass the first half." I was then taken on an hour long emotional rollercoaster that left me emotional spent. Its a tragedy that it has so little exposure to foreign audiences. Please do yourself a favor and watch this movie if you can. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
