Summary: A failed cellist connects with his inner undertaker and his rural hometown in this tonally eccentric, lushly scored, movingly funny drama. Crushed at the breakup of his Tokyo orchestra, Daigo retreats to his picturesque northern Japan hometown, with adoring wife Mika in tow, to find his true calling. (psfilmfest.org)

Brilliant first hour, then this Oscar-winner takes a turn for the worse and becomes a sentimental, pathos-reeking, waste of time. Still, the first hour is seriously hilarious.

Beautiful, but it is another demonstration that human beings can be very forgiving towards people who do not deserve it (his father) and very unforgiving towards those who do (his mother). Well, another one of our miseries...

I thought the cast was wonderful, very personable and mostly genuine. The film is not quite as profound as it seems to aspire to, but is very engaging and hard not to be moved by. A handful of the emotional beats are a little too easy and/or predictable, but most of them are nonetheless effective and there were several moments that choked me up a bit. As for the bits of black comedy, most of them work as well. As a mild Japanophile, I really enjoy seeing any fresh perspectives on the culture.

Very rarely you come across a movie that has you in splits in one scene and tears in the other. The movie has some really intense scenes and makes you think. It also gives a glimpse into the Japanese culture and makes you respect those who have passed away...

Sometimes a film is great not just because of how well it is made, but because of how it manages to get a reaction out of you. "Okuribito" is well made; the casting is inspired, the score is stunning, the photography is great and all the performances very good. But there are faults here; notably it's a touch cliche and overly melodramatic in places. But it's the emotional reaction that matters; because "Okuribito" made me laugh and weep like an idiot! I absolutely loved it.

A very thoughtful film that goers to greaty lengths to consider what needs to be said and what's better off left unsaid. Like the story of the rock letter within the film, it communicates certain things through feeling rather than saying

Yes, it's a bit cliched in parts, but I don't care - it's a great film. The wife character is indeed weak, though.
