Leave your thoughts about Hana's Miso Soup.
| South China Morning PostEdmund LeeEven if you are allergic to the manipulative tactics of tear-jerking cancer dramas, there's still a lot to savour [here] ... Patrons of the sniffle are in for more than they usually bargain for. |
| User ReviewZi-Ling HDémarrant d'abord comme une franche comédie à l'humour bien japonais (Takito Kenichi s'en donne à coeur joie pour notre plus grand plaisir), Hana's Miso Soup se transforme très vite en un drame sur le cancer et comment on vit avec, à travers des ellipses savamment travaillées par Akune Tomoaki, qui délivre quelques belles idées de mise en scène. Hirosue Ryoko est excellente dans un rôle complexe, Hitoto Yo s'offre la magnifique chanson-thème du film tout en gérant parfaitement son second rôle et la petite Akamatsu Emina est parfaite. Le tout prend réellement sa pleine puissance dans une demi-heure finale sponsorisée par Kleenex. Hana's Miso Soup est une superbe surprise. |
| User ReviewRay MYou want to laugh, see this move. You want to cry like a baby, see this movie. |
| User ReviewMargaret CWhat a surprise! I caught this film on a flight and despite the fact that it caters to the Japanese penchant for pathos, it was funny, charming, poignant and uplifting. It is a real tribute to the human spirit, to courage, to mother and fatherhood and to multi-generational relationships. It's also a great look at the quirkiness (from a Western viewpoint) of Asian cinema, where comedy is often played almost as slapstick. But the acting was spot on and the story deals with a difficult situation that touches everyone in some way nowadays, with sensitivity, humor and hope. Highly recommended with some reservations because of thematic material and Asian bluntness. |
| User ReviewNicki MCute but sad. Wasn't what I expected at all. (I had no idea what it was about, but thought it would be quite kidsy based on the title). It's actually quite funny at first. Then you know what's coming so not the most cheerful. |
