18 reviewsTrès bien, pas émouvant mais beau a voir et pas compliqué à comprendre. Le rythme est dynamique, on ne voit pas les 2h passer
Très beau film sur une idée originale.
Joli film Plein de tendresse où on est plongée dans la culture japonaise
J’ai aimé ce film pour sa douceur et son humanisme. Il parle de l’humain, simplement. Des sentiments, du besoin de lien, de ce qu’on peut apporter à l’autre sans grandes paroles ni démonstration. Juste une présence, une attention, quelque chose de sincère. C’est un film calme, bienveillant, qui fait du bien. Il ne cherche pas à forcer l’émotion, il la laisse venir. Et ça marche. On en ressort un peu plus apaisé, avec l’impression que les relations humaines, même simples, ont encore du sens.
This was a nice movie. It’s soft, warm, and fuzzy and overall a very feel good story. The movie looked nice and pretty, the music was good and calm, and the actors all did a great job. This also had a good amount of humor which was nice. The scene with the grandpa was so sad and I was almost brought to tears, like my eyes started watering. It’s such a relatable premise about not being there for a loved one in need and it hit me hard. Some things didn’t hit well for me. For one, the boss having a rental family was definitely shocking, but I feel like there was no point where he realized he was wrong. It kinda felt like he started to be evil and pessimistic towards the end and suddenly he’s super nice and actually knows what the Rental Family company is all about. It’s a cute watch, I don’t regret watching it I had a good chill time. 7/10
