Tokyo Story Reviews

The daughter-in-law’s sweet, but holy, she’s also creepy as hell—as is everyone else because of the filming techniques.

Ikiru and Ode to my Father were so much more impactful and emotional

The takeaway is that “life is disappointing” that’s awful.

Some beautiful imagery

some of the most raw and beautiful shots in cinema

So simple, yet so powerful. A story taken from ordinary life that quietly breaks your heart..

watched for a class, honestly really good but sad. It was shot super well

Such a tender, moving and kind of sad watch, will make you feel grateful for your parents and grandparents

one of the original japanese masterpieces, a simple yet powerful story of one family’s trip to visit their children and the emotions that encompass it. wonderfully shot and acted with perfect precision, always heartfelt and touching

An honestly beautiful story about aging and how disappointing life can be, but how important it is to accept it.

Beautiful story

3/6

very cute

9/10

6/10 Sad tale about the fragility of life, following a Japanese family after the war. The last 30 mins was the best part, leaving behind an eerie feeling of loneliness and stripping it down to show the harsh reality of human nature. I wanted to love it but it’s just so slow.
