Actually I was thinking in the first 10-minutes that I'm not gonna enjoy this because it's a black & white film. But when dialogue starts, this film like give me a rope that makes me slowly enjoy the film.

The dialogue feels like a conversations between ordinary people in real life, and I like it. And the plot is great, pretty well organized, even though it was laid out slowly.

I like Chishu Ryu & Setsuko Hara chemistry as Father & Daughter, I can feel the emotion when the marriage topic starts to be cooked, Noriko's unwillingness to get married and leave her father, I understand why she's like that. And then Somiya go home after sent Noriko to wedding and sit in solitude, enough to make my heart tremble.
