🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Kore-eda constructs a narrative not about the event, but its aftermath, relying on minimal dialogue and lingering shots to explore the silence between people. The film uses nature as a counterpoint to human turmoil, where water and trees speak louder than words.

What lingers after viewing is a meditative, patient study of loss, where the primary action unfolds on faces and in the spaces between lines. It leaves a quiet weight and a question about measuring the distance between the living and the dead. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda
