Here's a great way to start savoring life: Don't waste it on pat manipulations like this.

Great music scores are what the japanese does best. Your review must be at least 150 characters long. Your review must be at least 150 characters long. Your review must be at least 150 characters long.

Wow, the Academy sure missed the boat this year! Waltz with Bashir, The Class and Revanche are all light years better and FAR more deserving of the Oscar than this sappy drivel. I can only guess that there were a bunch of votes divided up between the other three with this sneaking in on top. Not only is this not the best foreign film, it isn't even the best Japanese film. I highly suggest Tokyo Sonata which is far superior to this.

It is as polished as it is heavy-handed, and it leaves one under a spell.

Well, I'm in the minority here but I agree with Dave. While the intentions were good, it just came off too manipulative and heavy-handed for my taste. I also agree that the other nominations for the foreign film Oscar were much more deserving than this. At least The Class won the Palme D'or at the Cannes Film Festival. If it weren't for the great visuals I would probably give this a zero.
