Overly emotional and the daughter's adult actor is quite atrocious - not to mention she doesn't fit the profile of her character.

Two emotional sledgehammers bookend this family drama and make it much more than the slightly too sentimental and predictable middle section might have you expect. The opening quake sequence is bone-chillingly frightening and sad, while the ending will bring out the tears once again. The material is well-handled and well-paced, the acting is good, and the film's look is clean and pleasing. The only trouble I had was in distinguishing certain actresses, but that's probably a Westerner thing.

Deeply emotional and pretty well made.
