Grant Watson Fiction Machine It utilises an unexpected narrative structure - a flashback within a flashback - but delivers its story with emotional honesty and remarkable dignity. Rated: 8/10 Sep 19, 2021 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Anyone interested in Japanese cinema and culture, or in sweeping period drama, would do well to give The Little House a watch.

Audience Member Deja vu familiar in story. Too emotional, almost hypocritical in delivery. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????...???????????????? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good film that gives one a great taste of what Japan was like leading up to and during WWII, which is the backdrop for a story of forbidden love, and consistent loyalty. Really a good film, highly recommended. Very well received at Seattle International Film Festival. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Another movie which really needs the ultimate performance from the actors..... Story is really simple: an Japanese old lady's memoir.. Her early life as a maid with her employer's family in Tokyo, before and during World War II, talking about the war, the affair, the general public at that time.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member ???????????????????????????????????????????????????(???)????(???)??????(????)??????????????????????????????????????????????????(????????????)????????????????????????????????????????????60???60???????????????????????????!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????8??
