Damn.

This hits different. This is actually a rewatch, first watched it around 2018-ish I think? My mom passed away last year and….. this movie really does hits different after she passed away. Started bawling my eyes out since the first few minutes. And as the eldest daughter, honestly I can see myself in Sugisaki Hana’s character.

Well, moving on, I knew this movie was bound to be a tearjerker drama yet they done it very neatly. The pace, the camerawork, the acting. My god! The acting was really top notch!!! Now that I watch this again, this movie really proves that Sugisaki Hana is really a magnificent actres (well, originally rating this 4 stars but the half star is for the amazing casts and their acting). The story though… sometimes I feel like they were trying to put too much topics. Like the bullying case? There were little resolution for that but I prefer them to adress how Azumi’s school life after that resolution. Although I really love how Futaba raises the two girls and her new unordinary family, even just for few months.

All in all, I still love how this movie turns out. How Futaba touch other people’s life, how she raises Azumi and Ayuko without questioning anything.
