This movie is a true wonder — it’s stuck with me for months and is among my favorites of the year. I don’t think that this is “spoilable” or that there’s a huge twist, but I’m so grateful that I saw it without hearing anything about even the suggestion of a secret or a mystery.

I'm glad you posted this, I totally forgot to see this. Kore-eda is one of the best directors working today and will hopefully be remembered as one of the best ever.

I was going to ask please just spoil it for me, but @1 convinces me I should see it instead.
