      They Say Nothing Stays the Same

      Released Nov 12, 2021 2h 17m Drama TRAILER for They Say Nothing Stays the Same: Trailer 1 List
      100% 15 Reviews Tomatometer In the debut directorial feature by actor Joe Odagiri, The Say Nothing Stays the Same follows an old ferryman in a remote Meiji-era community. His life is a peaceful, cyclical existence, given meaning by the essential role he plays in transporting people, livestock and goods across the water, connecting villages and lives. When news arrives that a bridge is being built, it's clear that his services will no longer be needed. Meanwhile, his life will be equally transformed by the appearance of a mysterious young woman whom he saves from drowning. Shot by star cinematographer Christopher Doyle and featuring an array of cameos from Japan's top stars, The Say Nothing Stays the Same is a refreshingly old-fashioned work of classical cinema, its formal qualities mirroring its thematic concern with those fondly-remembered traditions sacrificed in the name of progress.

      Nicolas Rapold New York Times The movie floats along pleasantly enough for much of its 137 minutes... Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Deborah Young Hollywood Reporter It's a dreamy, unexpectedly rigorous debut that starts frustratingly slowly but ends with an emotional bang... Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy I do not want to spoil the film by telling too much about what happens, or raise expectations too high for those who seek it out. But to me, it was a great surprise, one of my favorite cinematic experiences of the past few years. Rated: 9/10 Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A poetic and meditative character study about a Japanese elder who models kindness, hospitality, and reverence. Rated: 5/5 Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography They Say Nothing Stays The Same is an exquisitely shot meditation about the impact change has on society and subjectivity. Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Shot by Christopher Doyle, famous as Wong Kar-wai's longtime cinematographer, They Say... is duly sumptuous to look at, exquisite in its use of the surrounding landscapes.
