Reviews
Good japanese thriller about the afterlife, that happens about the time of Fukushima disaster. The rhythm of the story is slow. It follows a woman that is a soul without accomplishing her objective at Earth (it can be in or out life). Good characters, sensitive movie - maybe not fit for everyone. It have a Ghibli characteristics to it, without the cute characters. But in the end it lacks something to enhance it more - maybe more emotion on the scenes to bring tears to the eyes. My score: 6,5 / 10,0 / B-.
