Our Little Sister's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
But ultimately what truly elevates the film for me is its depiction of virtue. It is hard to write and depict goodness and make it look believable.
The Wrap
Resolutely quiet, understated and lovely.
ABC
It has huge narrative, climate, sentimental look and precision, and it reflects the life time of its characters as with a teaspoon worth flavoured.
El País
The subtlety of Kore-eda to describe sensations and feelings, what is expressed and what is not said, nuanced emotions, remains exquisite.
The Guardian
The film is quiet, understated and gentle, allowing the audience to take pleasure in teasing out its narrative subtleties, and presented with wonderful freshness and clarity.
The Telegraph
Precisely because it?s less emotionally coercive than Kore-eda?s last couple of pictures, it?s even more moving.
Screen Daily
Kore-Eda?s film is more than the beautifully luminous faces of his actresses, the particular way they move and speak, or the lovely landscapes of Kamakura, even though all of these should be admired. So much more lies buried in-between the lines.
Clarin
It's a film kind and gentle.
The Hollywood Reporter
It feels ineffably slight even if it's a consistent pleasure to spend time in the company of these three likeable women.
Variety
Koreeda?s sensitive yet lucid helming keeps the performances precise yet natural.
