About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, child-centered family drama with a touch of everyday magic and a relaxed pace, similar in spirit to After Life; Not for you if you need tight plotting and constant momentum.
Pros: gentle, heartfelt tone; warm child focus; charming slice of Japan | Cons: slow, meandering setup; uneven kid acting; feels overly long
