This was like a Japanese version of "Revolutionary Road" for me with it's portrayal of a downfall of a family, except "Revolutionary Road" is set in the 1950's while this is set in present time but go through similar crisis. And this film isn't for everyone, cause just about every character in this film isn't really likable and just way too normal and throughout most of the film go through realistic normal life. This film is basically about how just about some everyday people go through a difficult journey while wishing they can start all over. For those wanting to watch a movie to get away from real life for a few hours, should pass on this one cause the portrayal of real life and the struggles can be a bit depressing while the problem is pretty common amongst other people and not just the Sasaki family. Some people will just enjoy this more than others.
