18 reviewsJapan, miscommunication, raw emotion, and human imperfections— the perfect ingredients for a masterpiece about an unexpected love that briefly fills the void of a lost purpose, if only for less than a week… Everything is beautifully balanced and paced: the silences, the conversations, the scenery, the gazes, the music… (And if you’re going through heartbreak, it hits even harder)
Rated 8/10 by Thomas
