I don't know, maybe I just wanted to like this and so I liked it. The 6 hours long Japanese not so very well know movie...it's an appealing etiquette, no?
But I truly liked. It made me think of a bunch of things first of which is: slow can be fast. If it's deep enough, you have plenty to see.
And this movie is long and slow but it's so filled with authentic human emotions (or what looks like that) I was captured, especially during the first half.
This movie talks about four women more or less and I was the fifth, that's how I felt sometimes. To connect this deeply with some characters, it's kind of amazing.
Subtle, delicate, intimate, nostalgic, melancholic: I don't know if everyone would enjoy this, maybe you could find it frustrating but MAYBE if you just take it in, then you'll like this. Don't rush it, throw away your expectations etc etc. Good luck.
