the film’s slow-paced, peaceful depiction of seaside life in Japan is incredibly calming—i couldn’t help but fall in love with it.
the unique production method really brought the characters to life. even with its flat, shadowless look, there’s something so human and soulful about them.
such a whimsical and charming movie. really fun to watch.
loss after loss. building your hopes up only to watch them crumble—again and again. but finding a silver lining in difficult times and carrying on? that’s bravery.
who would've thought that in their dull little world, they lived such an interesting life? a bittersweet tale, beautifully written with splendid storytelling. this film felt so precious to me—it made me cry a lot.
if this film left me with anything, it’s the realization that life is a cycle, always circling back. but in this case, it spirals.
