A light-hearted, quirky, but also somewhat tepid and expected look into the life and habitat of a peculiar artist. The tone of the film is comfortable, the characters are enjoyable and the drama is pleasant, but overall the film feels a bit aimless and doesn't make a big impression. Good, but not great.
A pleasant drama, but a bit too old-fashioned and predictable to make a lasting impact. The setup is cute and the women are rather funny, each in their own way, but I think you need to be a bit older to be full on board with their problems and concerns to get the most out of this film. The performances are pleasant and the conversations between the women are quirky enough. The presentation is a tad disappointing though and the pacing is quite slow for a film that doesn't have many surprises, nor puts a lot of focus on the visceral experience. Decent entertainment, but not too memorable.Read all
A sweet but simple romantic drama. The Yonosuke character isn't quite as endearing as Okita hoped he'd be, the drama is a little too predictable and the direction is decent but somewhat inconspicuous. It's not a bad film, but it can't warrant its excessive running time as it is simply not memorable enough.
