A sweet and poignant little love story. I expected a little more from Igashi after seeing her previous film, but if this is the quality of her filler work, then I have nothing to complain about. It's a simple romance, there is nothing explicitly special, but she hits every beat and there is no excess material.
Like many Japanese films, communication is one of the underlying themes here. Though the film is short, it is properly explored and illustrated. The performances are solid, the presentation is pleasant and the drama effective. It's a good film, nothing to complain about, it just fails to stand out amongst the competition.
