Plot
The families of cult members visit a lake.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hirokazu Kore-eda's quiet drama follows relatives of cult members who gather at a lake to remember their lost ones. Shot in natural light and improvised, it is a delicate, melancholic study of grief and understanding.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
