Drive My Car

"A gentle, subdued, and revealing exploration of grief and the tragedies in our life, and how to continue living in spite of all that pain. If you allow it, this film will take you on a journey. It’s a slowww burn but in the best way."

"Scenes of bokeh city lights like dust particles drifting by through the view of a car window of a late model Saub. The length and subsequent depth is realized when the opening credits begin rolling by 41 minutes in."

"Phenomenal screenplay and performance by Hidetoshi Nishijima. Pleasantly surprised at the film’s well-deserved Oscar recognition."

"3 hours of perfect character-driven storytelling. You feel part of the conversation and story, but not involved, yet the experience is still intimate. “On stage everything should be just as complicated and just as simple as in life. People eat their meals, and in the meantime their fortune is made or their life is ruined.”"

"Get through the first 30 minutes of dysfunctional marriage and this becomes a moving and compelling story about the healing power of art. Beautiful. "

"It's an introspective film that uses its characters' expressions, feelings, poetry and lines from Anton Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya. The rehearsals for this play take up a large part of the movie and are very interesting within the dynamics of the story. Because of this characteristic, the film ends up being long, perhaps a little longer than it should be, but it is a movie with extensive scenes and offers an experience of much reflection and observation."

"Slow pase, beautiful and completely worth it"

"One of the best films of the year! A tender study of how people deal with loss and grief."

"Everyone who has ever suffered a loss in their life should watch this."
