    Giant billboard for Hirokazu Kore-eda’s ( After Life / Our Little Sister ) latest film ‘Last Scene’, apparently shot with IPhone 16 Pro. Spotted somewhere around Harajuku/Omotesando. If your haven’t seen it already, his Netflix series ‘Asura’ is shot on 35mm film and looks amazing.

    Our Little Sister was one of those Japanese movies that really did resonate with me in a lot of meaningful ways that made me feel so many emotions at how it's an emotionally heartfelt and wholesome movie that's able to explore the concepts of generational trauma and our memories affecting us.

    Our Little Sister, as I honestly think that is an emotionally heartfelt and delightful movie that I found myself resonating to it's deep and complex themes that offer it's own interesting exploration of learning to confront our struggles of generational trauma and how they can really affect us.

    The two best films I saw last month are undoubtedly Orson Welles extraordinary F For Fake and a beautiful Japanese film called Our Little Sister. Its an exquisite little bittersweet gem full of laughter and sadness that has an ultimately uplifting finale.

    While Asura is steeped in quiet anger, Our Little Sister is all cozy warmth and affection (which Makanai would similarly exude) - a gentle film about coming to terms with the past and moving forward, and finding your place with the people who love you.

    If I was pressed for my favourite film ever, it would have to be 是枝裕和 Koreeda Hirokazu's 海街diary (Our Little Sister). I rarely rewatch films, but I watch this about once a year, and I don't think there's another film quite as beautiful and life-affirming as this. #海街diary #OurLittleSister

    Excellent stuff! Loved the Pastygate saga and suggestion that your friend may have set up a daily DD for pasties. And pleased that Ive seen both Japanese films. Still Walking was the first film I saw by director Hirokazu Koreeda - highly recommend others by him, esp Shoplifter & Our Little Sister.

    Our Little Sister comes from the tender slice of life side of Hirokazu Koreeda's filmography. I'd put it in the same basket as his earlier I Wish, a movie that doesn't really go for the throat but doesn't hide the pain and regret of adult life.

    There’s a terrific Japanese film “Our Little Sister”. There’s a seen where the little sister accepts a lift home from a boy, on his bike, as she is first becoming interested in boys and they travel down a country lane just like this, framed by blossoming cherry trees. Beautiful scene.

    It's the kind of movie that is really interesting to rewatch. Same as his "Like Father, Like Son". (Kore-eda's one of my favourite filmmakers, BTW. I adore his "Our Little Sister" -- another work of his I've watched more than once; but that's one's just pure pleasure!)

    48. Our Little Sister (2015) very cute and sincere movie, it knows you want to see some good human drama and it gives exactly what you expect but without crossing the line into melodrama, it's not flashy and the editing is a bit weird but I liked it a lot 🎇 8/10

    Somewhat reminiscent of Koreeda's earlier film "Umimachi Diary (Our Little Sister)," with Suzu Hirose as the youngest sister (in a very different role). It's also nice to find Yu Aoi playing a cranky character for a change.

    > A tale of four sisters living under the same roof. It was based on the manga series. This is from one of the best directors from Japan that I am familiar with his works. I have seen some of his previous films and I loved them all, but sadly not this time. To be honest, I'm not the fan of this kind of movies, but I have watched them a lot before and liked them a lot. This movie is totally made for the film critics and film festivals, but winning awards that I never understood how. They call it…
