Mikey H The fact that I consider this film "average Ozu" is just a testament to his greatness. Incredible piece of film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Shadowivy H An extraordinary family film. Heartfelt as well as entertaining from beginning to end. The dialogue was quirky and funny with many memorable moments . The parent and child dynamic grows as the story progresses into more than a simple foundling and foster mother relationship. A lonely widow who appears to be content leading an independent life learns the value of sharing her sorrows and joys with a lost boy. I especially loved how their bond developed over time. Weather you prefer comedy or drama this movie provides a little of everything all rolled into one. A true masterpiece must see . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review william d An absolutely charming film. Choko Iida is terrific, she made me chuckle throughout the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An elegant little drama told with a precise comedic voice, this is just another example of Ozu's propensity for wonderfully small films about the Japanese experience. The stillness of each perfectly composed frame makes you marvel at each shots simple beauty. But even with its seemingly cold feel, it has a ton of human warmth, studying how love can grow in the most unlikely of places and ways, all the while avoiding cloy. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review s r A simple and touching drama about caring for the orphaned. Great music and cinematography. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful comic drama from a director who could little wrong.
