    A good movie with a great Tatsuya Nakadai performance
    A movie like this is going to sink or swim based on the performances, as the story and presentation are very simple. It's a family drama with the two main characters drifting between various members of their family as they both look for a place to belong.

    Veteran actor Tatsuya Nakadai and newcomer Eri Tokunaga are both great, and I found the physicality of Nakadai's performance particularly impressive- he became well known for physically demanding roles in samurai and war films in the 50s/60s, and at nearly 80 years old here, he still throws his entire body and being into the role.

    There are lots of static long takes, often from a distance, and that gives the impression of watching a stage play at points. It is technically a road movie of sorts, but the bulk of the film is concerned with the places they settle for short periods more than the time spent on the road travelling.

    It's a quiet and touching film, though it does move slowly and does feel a bit long at 134 minutes. I still think it's worth watching for the compelling characters, the solid visuals and music, and especially the acting, especially those two lead performances.
