Danny Leigh

Financial Times

The comedy is not quite so dark that her dysfunctional family have murderous plans — but elbows are still sharpened in a tale of everyday avarice.

David Rooney

The Hollywood Reporter

Strong ensemble acting makes the family a believable unit, their differences notwithstanding. But it’s the evolving rapport between M and Amah that makes the film so captivating.

... A display of modest sentimentalism and a clumsy commitment to the stillness of objects and the laconicism of existence only reveal a bad disciple of Yasujiro Ozu, via Hirokazu Kore-eda. [Full review in Spanish]

The story, character creation, concept, rhythm, picture, color, and music are all excellent. "The son gets the inheritance, the daughter gets cancer", lightly but straightforwardly expresses the deep-rooted imbalance in this seemingly unsolvable traditional concept. But there is no fairness in the world, and in the end, the family still relies on the inseparable love to find the forgotten true feelings and reach an understanding with each other. Isn't this the case for most of the thousands of families in reality?

The kind of movie where you stay a few minutes after— not because of a mid credits stinger, but because you need some time in the dark for the tears to dry…
