Synopsis

In 1987 Tokyo, a quirky and sensitive 11-year-old girl copes with a terminally ill father and stressed-out working mother while encountering various adults dealing with their own struggles.
Moviegoers are saying
Chie Hayakawa's deeply personal 'Renoir' divides audiences with its hypnotic exploration of childhood grief in 1980s Tokyo, where 11-year-old Fuki navigates her father's decline through telepathy and imagination. While some find its meditative pace and poetic restraint profoundly moving, others struggle with the deliberately meandering narrative that prioritizes atmosphere over conventional storytelling.

Moving, emotional, and ultimately cathartic, Renoir is a quiet and stirring coming-of-age story that reminds us of our own childhood and the impactful time that can be.

The result is a rich and gradually rewarding bildungsroman, a film that can be cold to the touch but leaves much to unpack.

Throughout, Hayakawa maintains a steady control of this delicate story. There are moments toward the end when Renoir takes sentimental turns that feel a touch too obvious for its subtle framing.
