"A feel good.. tragidrama? Dramagidy? About a Japanese sweet shop run on exploitation. It’s predictable, but not unrealistic in its depictions of outsiders scraping together a space for themselves. "

"ABSOLUTE 💎 GEM! Soulful & Beautifully told. Those of you who don't do foreign films with subtitles are Truly Missing Out. Most convicting REFRESHING film I've ever seen. You will be left peacefully speechless, your cup runneth over.🤍"

"Absolute perfection. Everything that is brilliant about cinema is on display in this film. The pacing is slow, but there is poetry in every frame. The sound design is sublime (I watched it with headphones and it blew me away). It was beautifully emotional; I cried so much the collar of my shirt was damp and I used all my kleenex. Seek this out and give a gift to yourself"
