A nice and gripping film about a group of kind of lost in life people that find each other in getting through life in Japan. There's not too much happening in the film really, it's pretty confined to just small endeavors and conversations of the family, but gets to me to see them live it. It's by a long shot not as flashy as Parasite, but there's an emotional journey in this that I find at least as strong.

B+
