What a journey! To see a woman’s thoughts and processing some of the formative moments in her youth. Really felt her. But I would say it is a girls movie unlike others in this genre. My boyfriend never bought in.
Gonna see this again as a date plan.
Metacritic
Only Yesterday is unabashedly modest, but in its twin dialogues between the past and the present, and the undying lure of the country and the city, it’s a singularly specific story whose message echoes decades later.
Mr. Takahata’s psychologically acute film, which was based on a manga, seems to grow in impact, too, as the adult Takao comes to a richer understanding of what she wants and how she wants to live.
Like “Kaguya,” it functions as a highly sensitive and empathetic consideration of the situation of women in Japanese society—but it’s also a breathtaking work of art on its own.
