A very good and hopefully faithful portrayal of parent-child relationships in 1950s Japan. It's a good social probe into the life of an elderly married couple and the young people around them (their children and their daughter-in-law). You’ll find your favorites, as well as ones you won’t much care for. The only thing that spoiled the impression of the film was the really overlong running time. If you want to get some sort of idea of what life was like back then, set around a couple "from another time", you might give this a try. A good 3 stars.

An unassuming story, but told from such a believable human perspective that it rightly boasts the title of cinema classic. If you are an adult with your own children and love your partner above all else, Ozu may not tell you anything new, but it will still caress your soul and imprint all the family values even more firmly. A unique visual and emotional melancholy where almost nothing has to happen and yet you can't take your eyes off it. When I'm sixty, it will undoubtedly be one of the most important films ever made; now, unfortunately, I'm unable to do it justice. :) 80%

Every life is beautiful. Or at the very least, it's rare and worth watching. This is a beautiful, and true, albeit a bit naive message that will certainly touch you in this rendition. People may not always be deserving, but they have something within them that is worth discovering. The film is incredibly slow-paced, but that is not a bad thing because with its static approach, it still manages to captivate you, and you will embark with those old folks on one of the most challenging journeys they've undertaken. And they were just visiting their kids in Tokyo. For the first and last time.
