Hiro Kore'eda started in docs, made his mark, and thus could go on to make his own feature films. In an uncharacteristically impulsive move, Sachi, the oldest sister, invited Suzu to come and live with them. But it was a typical Japanese film, a very simple story, told well but for western standards a little too mundane. Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017.

AKA: Kamakura Diary, Umimachi Diary, Umimachi Diary (Our Little Sister) - Hirokazu Koreeda (2015 Japan) The story is set in a small household shared by three sisters with distinctly different personalities. I have been to Japan many times so not some one hitting the film with no knowledge of Japanese culture. Through Suzu, the three sisters came to discover a part of their father they never knew. The word "quotidian" fits this film perfectly---the everyday, the commonplace. The movie is about a year in the life they have together. They live at a house in Kamakura, Japanese. One of the sweetest, most uplifting movies I've ever seen. Trickle down. Sign in to see videos available to you.

So far for me it's Kore'eda's masterpiece - lightly handled, always positive, by genre a comedy in the classic sense, yet it opens with a funeral (with quotes from Ozu) and closes with a second funeral; and yet we are never sad, just deeply moved by the way the characters are, each, in the final instance, so generous & positive.

Travelling or based outside United States? Their house was left by their grandmother. You are seen as disposable...hi hum. Highly recommended. Our Little Sister: A Masterpiece (My review first appeared in Huffington Press when the film was released) Our Little Sister is a film of surpassing beauty and sensitivity, a fully realized insight into family, a simple story of three sisters living together who are joined by their half sister. Select the department you want to search in. And in his hands, genius. As the four sisters forged new bonds, they also struggled with their own feelings for their absent mother and their father's infidelity. She agrees and a new life of joyful discovery begins for the four siblings. 29-year-old Sachi Kouda (Haruka Ayase) is restrained and mature; 22-year-old Yoshino Kouda (Masami Nagasawa) is outgoing but has a tendency to fall for unsuitable boys; and 19-year-old Chika Kouda (Kaho) is quirky and childlike. 2016 126 min PG Drama Feature Film.

On the other hand no American film maker is a genius like Kore-eda in unraveling the kindness, the humor, the fellow feeling that these three women have for their newly found step-sister, and in turn her sweetness and growing into a new community in her life. Japan is nowhere near perfect but the UK doesn't really produce films that cheer up people, while still respecting a right to move out of the main stream. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. It works well. His films are gentle explorations of human relationships. It unfolds patiently, with elegance and understanding. The film opens with their discovering that their father who left them 15 years before for another woman has died. He says himself that he echoes the director Naruse, more than the master director Ozu; but this film is set in Kamakura, the city itself almost a character in two of Ozu's great movies (Late Spring and Early Summer); and this Kore'eda movie, like so much of Ozu's work, is a perfect family portrait.

All are unmarried; two are in relationships with men who treat them well but indifferently. The Japanese scenery is also a star of the movie from the train journey to the wonderful scene of the younger sister on the back of a bike riding though the cherry blossoms.
