🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Naomi Kawase's film is a quiet observation of loss and the search for footing in an uncertain world. It finds its power in lingering shots and the unspoken space between two young people facing adult-sized grief.

What lingers after the final frame is the profound sense of place and the fragile beauty of a connection forged in shared vulnerability. It's a poignant, understated journey. — MovieFinder Editorial
