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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry The culmination of a singular career, Moving is an epitaph not just for a broken family but also for Somai, who passed away in 2001. Fortunately, he lives on through his work and the vibrant way in which it portrays all of the ups and downs of life Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
