I caught this film on a United flight in spring 2014 while flying to Japan. It was also recommended to me by a Japanese friend so I believe it has some popularity in the mainland. Without any expectations that were too high, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The acting, from the parents to the children, was superb. And understanding how Japanese culture can be, it embellished on the role of family vs. work life. The plot was credible and the movie did not have any slow parts. The ending had me in tears though, and it made me think about what I would have done or how I would have acted if I were in the character's shoes. I would recommend this to those who enjoy drama themes (with a little comedy) and those who liked to be moved.
