“A master class in how to adapt – and improve! – a fine original screenplay from one cultural setting to another. Ishiguro actually manages to make an already subtle, quiet drama even subtler, and more emotional.” – Cinema Scope. “An absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking piece of work.”
– Rolling Stone
