Sachi: You can stay here too, Suzu. As long as you like
Suzu: I want to stay here forever.

I've been wanting to see this 3 years ago and finally, I watched this a few days ago and it was beautiful.

Our Little Sister about these three sisters in their adult age visits their father's funeral and there, they meet their younger sister who they share the same father. A story about family and sisterhood in the most genuine way.

I just happen to know that this film was based on a manga with the same title. Kore-eda surely knows how to capture a story about a family in a way it has more into its story than just merely shows it off with a blend of good capture of setting and cinematography that warms the tone of the whole film. Kore-eda films have that strong familial bond but on his films but at the same time it dives you into their character's conflicts & core but for Our Little Sister, Kore-eda takes us into the genuine side of sisterhood without any punches of regrets.

This kind of story often overreact by some mainstream television dramas here in my country and its so sad because it has always the same formula where the first family meets the second family then they fight for their rights or their inheritance of the late parent but Our Little Sister by Kore-eda shows the kindness, softness, and genuineness of a family and sisterhood embracing another without any prejudice, embracing them like a long time family member. The film doesn't have a big conflict to make a huge fight for but the main thing that I like is that the simplicity and accuracy of how a fiction story can also relate into someone's real life story

The 3 main actresses in this film are my favorites and I'm so glad that they cast in this beautiful film portraying a loveable and kind sisterhood.
