very heartwarming film - Our Little Sister review by DS
Beautiful touching story, the way its told feels like the sisters are a real family, there is an immediate chemistry, and I love how they showed lots of little special every day moments , the diary story telling is very effective.

Sheer delight! - Our Little Sister review by TE
What a wonderful film! Very assured direction and camera work enhance a good story with rounded characters.
It manages to be 'feel good' without the usual sentimental syrup...just a simple joy to watch.
There are shades of dark in the tale, but the sisterly bonds are beautifully conveyed.
It's rare to watch a film and wish that it was a whole box-set, but I wanted to see how their lives progress.
My only concern was how they manage to stay so slim given all the very delicious food that is featured throughout!

Lovely, gentle film - Our Little Sister review by CP Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed this film in different ways: the landscape, the depth of character of the protagonists, the way that emotional issues and family dynamics were skilfully and gently handled. It was refreshing to watch something lacking in violence and sensual rather than sexual, at that same time not childish. Loved the attention to food, stimulated my appetite and made me want to visit Japan.
