Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse The road movie aspect is also entertaining, but I think that the script goes a bit too far after a fashion, with the various side stories being too many for a single individual to have, although some of the plot twists are really impactful. Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia I beautiful tale of love and family Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post Those who aren't put off by the inherent sadness in the concept will find this film compelling in its depiction of how this heroine chooses to choreograph her own exit, and although you may cry, you won't leave the theater depressed. Jul 12, 2018 Full Review Alex Doenau Trespass Her Love Boils Bathwater very firmly belongs to its genre, but it innovates and expands on its hallmarks in such a way that it is able to sufficiently stand out. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Rie Miyazawa gives a heart-wrenching performance ... as a terminally ill matriarch determined to reconcile her splintered family in her last remaining weeks.

gig c Sweet sad film based upon a mother's love and prepping for a painful time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Japanese mainstream weepies aren't known for their subtlety, but this is a happy exception. While the reveals and twists could easily be extremely over-the-top in the hands of a lesser writer and director, they're well-calibrated here, and quietly devastating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming film with great performances. #PIFF41 favorite. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you have an opportunity to watch this Japanese movie (with English subtitles), it is highly encouraged. A story of selfless love, courage, optimism and forgiveness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
