It seems that every japanese director portraying a simple family life wants to be Yasujiro Ozu. This does Ozu better than most, but Ozu still reigns.

I was fully prepared to slate this but it's another very well done in the acting and the telling, small family film that the Japanese seem to excel with, fully recomended. Heavy but not overdone!

From Ozu to Naruse to Koreeda to Yamada, I could watch these types of Japanese movies all day. I agree with JooJoo though that Ozu still reigns.
