“I wasnu0026#39;t sure what to expect from this one. It got a pretty high rating but that was from a relatively low number of raters. Iu0026#39;m always suspicious when that occurs. However, this was a pleasant surprise.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a very slow movie, or nuanced, as they say in the business. Some might find this boring, but you just have to stick with it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs described, itu0026#39;s about a Japanese gentleman whose wife has recently died. She leaves instructions that she wants her ashes scattered in Lake Windemerre, in England. So he travels there with his son and daughter-in-law and his grandchild.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlong the way, thereu0026#39;s a fair amount of tension, seething under the surface. Slowly, the father and son come to terms with their relationshipu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI only have one minor complaint about the film. I watched it on Hoopla which listed it as English language. False. Itu0026#39;s 99% Japanese with a few times English is spoken. I guess itu0026#39;s more of a beef with Hoopla than the filmmakers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, itu0026#39;s a beautiful crafted film, fans of indie flicks will surely enjoy. .”
