There were moments during this film that made me feel distinctly uneasy. The narrative centers on an older couple hosting a reunion dinner for their adult children and families, marking the anniversary of their eldest son’s death years prior when he was young. Although you see the usual respect from kids toward their parents, it doesn't take long to realize the mother—particularly—doesn't adhere strictly to social conventions. Her inquiries regarding her son and his wife’s baby plans, a relationship that seems tense at times, open up further insights into the hopes and struggles of everyone present. It's been roughly two decades since my own family gathered like that, and certain aspects felt very real as the personalities of all involved—even the younger generation—begin to disrupt the usual order of things. This lends a sense of genuineness to what’s happening on screen. You won't find any outright arguments or outbursts; however, it becomes apparent through observation that each person has sensitive spots and is looking ahead in their own ways, with varying degrees of immediacy. Kirin Kiki, playing the mother, was probably the standout for me, but the rest of the actors also contribute to a moving, thought-provoking, and intimate story with skill and nuance. This isn’t dull or plodding by any means—it simply allows the narrative room to develop and lets us appreciate the thoughtfully developed characters as the visit unfolds over roughly forty-eight hours. It's certainly a slow unfolding of events, but it’s worth your time.
