Our Little Sister Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
If you succumb to Koreeda's slow rhythms, the climbs up a hill to find a magnificent view, the walks along the beach, the simple peace of a shared meal, this is the kind of movie that will leave you feeling restored, maybe a little misty-eyed as well.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
"Sister" ... broods on the past, on how it defines the present and future, but as a film about remembering it is not especially memorable.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Rarely has a film more eloquently captured the universality of human experience.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Audiences softened by Hollywood cynicism are bound to be confounded by filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda's (After Life, Like Father, Like Son) gentle, upbeat tone.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's a movie that, by its serene final scene, changes its viewer. You leave happier, honored to have been, for two hours, part of this family.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Under a less masterful hand, you'd be dying for a fistfight, a sex scene or a gunshot to shatter the calm. But Koreeda makes thrilling the rich inner lives of four young women trying to navigate rocky emotional terrain in the wake of their father's death.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's the way that Koreeda handles such quotidian details and detours of this quartet that makes all the difference.
Washington Post
Vanessa H. Larson
While the emotions may be muted, there's still something appealingly heartfelt about the way these siblings find each other. One can't help but cheer them on.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Kore-eda may have moved away from the adventurous, mysterioso moodiness of early films like "After Life," but the smiles he provokes here -- both with his characters and with us -- are well-earned.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Japanese melodrama Our Little Sister is the rare film that captures the everyday pleasures and anguishes of family life.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Kore-eda is one of the most optimistic and humanist filmmakers working today, and even though Our Little Sister isn't quite as finely articulated as some of his previous work, his core compassion for humanity comes through clearly.
Film Comment Magazine
Aliza Ma
Never shying away from the picturesque, the film depicts a vivid world that is crystal clear, gleaming, and suffused with life.
Chicago Reader
Dmitry Samarov
Koreeda allows the action to unfold gradually, and plum wine isn't the only food metaphor enriching his tale. Each meal seems like an invitation for the sisters to learn more about each other or to be reminded-for good or ill-of their parents.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Our Little Sister often feels Chekhovian, a movie attuned to the passage of time and the changing of seasons. As I watched it, though, I also thought, in a general way, of Thornton Wilder, [whose plays] are suffused with love and kindness.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Beneath its sugar-frosted quality, however, Our Little Sister has a singular character of its own.
Village Voice
Kenji Fujishima
All one needs is a close-up of Suzu's face euphorically looking skyward, eyes closed, as she rides on a road surrounded by cherry blossoms to grasp the laudable humanity at the heart of Kore-eda's patient, warmhearted worldview.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
Kore-eda's latest exudes the same sentimental, unhurried tone of "Still Walking" and "Like Father, Like Son," and to be sure it's a simple tale without many surprises. But in his hands, that slightness can feel elemental, timeless.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A delicate, unforced meditation on the bonds of family and the joys and wonders hidden in everyday life, this film is able to move audiences without apparent effort, and that must be experienced firsthand to be appreciated and understood.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Seeming to wander through small incidents and mundane busyness, it acquires momentum and dramatic weight through a brilliant kind of narrative stealth.
NPR
Ella Taylor
The movie bestows a forgiving compassion on all its troubled souls, even those of the misbehaving dead.
