The emotional content of the film is moving... Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times “Moving” is a profound and poetic statement about the cost and joy of moving on. Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) As familiar as the story is, the casual approach Park takes makes “My Old Ass” a delight. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Moving, Shinji Sōmai’s poetic film about a family going through a divorce, is a prime example of the late director’s talent at portraying adolescence on screen.
