Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews The underwritten script doesn't have a lot on its mind. When the movie lets the Naomi and Mrs. Koide interact, there are some mildly touching moments. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 4, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member the first half-hour of this movie plays like an angsty schoolgirl drama, but the story slowly opens up as she heads to her aunt's mountain b&b, which has beautiful surroundings. The elderly lady plays her role quite well, but alas one feels somewhat robbed of the opportunity to get to know her a bit better.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member it's unfortunate that only the older lady was the one with credible acting skills. however, as in the case of many japanese movies, the scenes were rural/peaceful. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Young girl moves to the country,hooks up with old woman,old woman dies and young girl inherits her huge porn collection:) The countryside looks cool though Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay. Not as good as I expected when I first read the synopsis. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautifully shot, judiciously paced, a story told in an elegiac manner, directed by English director John Williams (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292004/ for more movie information) . Also a beautiful story of generations finding commonality in a day where much has changed. a simple but effective score tying together the entire work. a movie for the spirit of things I am currently dealing with. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member beautiful scenes.. nice movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
