Times (UK)

It has moments of charm but nothing that defines the film as anything other than a pale, rather twee Wong Kar Wai wannabe.

Movie Talk

Depending on your mood, Japanese movie Kakera: A Piece of Our Life may strike you as charmingly gentle and perceptive or maddeningly slow and opaque. You may even find yourself flip-flopping between these points of view within the same scene.

Lack of feeling for the material makes this story less a cross section of life and instead a missed opportunity.

Sedate composition, a dreamy soundtrack and two delicately realised female characters make Ando's debut a watchable piece of indie
