Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Watanabe brings ferocious commitment to the sort of role that many an American awards body has been known to champion.
The script's subtler nuances are too often drowned out by awkward histrionics.
This heartfelt tale of disintegration and acceptance, seasoned with family devotion, will both raise and soothe the anxieties of those of us who regularly ask ourselves why we came into the kitchen two minutes ago.
Sensitively directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi from a well-constructed script.
