Japanese Movie '' Familia '' is a family drama that blends in the stories of different people from different backgrounds, as they, eventually, become a family.

The movie starts out quite weakly. The first half actually was boring, as the story was trying to find its footing and get a grip on what it was going to be about. Things started picking up in the second half though, however, that also meant that there was little time left for anything proper to develop. So, the movie suffered, in the end, by the false passing and the confusion of what it is going to narrate ultimately.

The acting, on the other hand, was enjoyable throughout it, especially by the father, who was really strong when it came to the emotional scenes.

So, overall, three out of ten stars for the movie '' Familia ''.
