	Author	Review
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A generous spirited, pristinely shot and, quite frankly, somewhat dull effort that just goes to prove happy families are anathema to good drama."	NEU
United States	Maggie Lee Variety	"'Our Little Sister' is so meticulously shot and gracefully orchestrated that it can be considered a worthy contempo successor to Kon Ichikawa’s masterpiece 'The Makioka Sisters'."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Precisely because it's less emotionally coercive than Kore-eda's last couple of pictures, it's even more moving (...) The truths it's telling creep up on you. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"A lullaby of sweet but repeated notes; a cool hand stroking a brow long after the fever has passed."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There is such compositional flair here. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
