A delightful story of sisterhood that makes you feel warm and loved. The storyline is simple, yet it perfectly captures the beauty of family and the bonds we choose. Each sister is endearing and feels lived-in, avoiding the trap of becoming a caricature. I also appreciate how Koreeda depicts the relationship between step-siblings, instead of the typical tension and conflict shown in many films, he highlights a love and kindness that transcends blood and the failings of their parents. Much like watching cherry blossoms in bloom, this masterpiece will make your heart flutter and reveal the magic of love in everyday life 🌸
