Reception
Dustin Chang of Twitch Film felt that the film "resembles strongly of the neo-neo realism of the Dardenne brothers' films but without their sense of hope".[3] Meanwhile, Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter noted Kazuyoshi Kumakiri's "low key but tender depictions of working class people and subtle assimilation of socio-economical realities, redolent of the works of Jia Zhangke and Wang Bing's West of the Tracks".[4]
gollark: Obviously you can use new innovations like ultrahyperbases, but there are finitely many of those.
gollark: Or they just get submerged in it and adding more isn't useful.
gollark: I mean, you can make the world worse by covering everything in ultrahyperacid, but you can only add so much ultrahyperacid to constantly dissolve everyone's skin before they get used to it.
gollark: I agree. There are probably diminishing returns on hellness, thus problems.
gollark: The e-ink Kindles run some accursed Linux distro where ALL is browser.
