Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The movie is an ideal blend of character study, deceptively simple plot twists, inspired acting, and travelogue.
It's a gentle lesson in facing life's hardships with acceptance rather than grief.
A quiet, moving tale of love and loss.
If you have ever seen Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Tokyo Story -- one of the greatest films ever made -- you may respond to Doris Dorrie's Cherry Blossoms, which is a kind of homage.
