Tennen kokekkô

I didn't connect with this one as much as Linda Linda Linda, perhaps because the kids are younger, but it sports the same careful attention to characterization. It perfectly captures the awkward self-consciousness of that age, without resorting to goofy, overblown gestures. The film is quite low-key and very much like a "gentle breeze"... nothing is rushed, the viewer is treated to some lovely scenery, and the music is minimalist. A solidly enjoyable movie with no particular flaws.

Very charming and sweet. But also sometimes a little sad. It's feels a bit dreamy. The actors aren't bad, but my God, why is it (usually) so awkward to see Asians kiss?

A slow paced movie that doesn't suffer from it. Quite enjoyable film that you can leisurely watch and relate with the kids.
