Intrigued by the name. But when I didn't resonate with the film's theme of marriage and parenthood, and the film's lack of surprises, I was already sleepy. The two-hour movie is really long. Although the plot is very compact, there is still nothing unexpected.
The movie adds a lot of comedy elements. For example, Taguchi often rubs his pipe, Hirayama always makes small movements when he is happy, and the scene where the mother and daughter are awkward also has a certain comical meaning. But although there are comedy elements, they are all self-defeating cold jokes, lacking innovative jokes.
Overall, the movie is long and boring.
