a review of 海街日记

Our Little Sister is a disarming, heart-warming, sympathetic film about the relationship between three sisters and their younger half-sister. Our Little Sister shows an Ozu-style snapshot of intertwined lives, with a predominantly joyful tone, which was delightful for a change, compared to the usual inevitable drama that characterizes most films of this genre. My only minor complaint is that the film was just a bit too lengthy, causing me to lose my focus a little towards the end.
