About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, women-centered drama with a strong sense of time and place, similar in spirit to Central Station; Not for you if you dislike slow, soap-operatic family sagas.
Pros: deeply emotional story; vivid period atmosphere; strong sisterhood focus | Cons: slow pace; overlong runtime; familiar melodrama beats
