Critics' reviews

"One of Ozu's least dark comedies, which is not to say that it's carefree, but, rather, that it's gentle and amused in the way that it acknowledges time's passage"

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"This 1958 film by Yasujiro Ozu (his first in color) is gentle, spare, and ultimately elusive, in a quietly satisfying way."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
