Watch this because of Koreeda-san

After watch a lot of movies by Koreeda-san, I wonder if there is any today japanese director who follows his path. Do the same kind of movie. After some intense googling, they lead me to Miwa Nishikawa. Turned out I have watch "Dream for Sale" (2012) before and its not good. So I lower my expectation for this "Long Excuse" and yeah, its good. Its like a rough version of Koreeda's kind of film. Its not smooth but its kind of enjoyable. Make me want to try "Sway" and "Dear Doctor" later but I must know that she is not Koreeda. She is Nishikawa!
