Reviews

“A beautifully observed paean to caretaking — both physical and philosophical — the movie is led, with sublime joy, by the great Japanese actor Koji Yakusho.”

Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times

“Without Yakusho, it would still be the German filmmaker’s strongest narrative feature in 30 years… With him, this small, unassuming tale turns into the kind of earthshaking character study that reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place.”

David Fear
Rolling Stone

“The director has crafted a film of deceptive simplicity, observing the tiny details of a routine existence with such clarity, soulfulness and empathy that they build a cumulative emotional power almost without you noticing.”

David Rooney
Hollywood Reporter
