Sakura

Japanese Movie " Sakura " is a family drama.

The one thing it has it going for it is the performances. All the actors and actresses of the cast did a great job, but the performances especially by main leads were exeptional.

The mood of the drama was spot on as well, with clean shots and nude light. The cinematography, in addition, was just right for the genre of the story.

The pace, however, was a bit off and the progress of the events was clumsy. Thus, the story tended to focus more on some characters, especially the sister, and left out other, like the narrator.

So, overall, five out of ten.
