Reception

Derek Elley of Film Business Asia rated it 8/10 stars and wrote that the "remarkably assured comedy of manners is an impressive writing-directing debut".[1] Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that there are "laughs aplenty in this bright and giddy comedy in a small, sun-kissed town".[2] Mark Schilling of The Japan Times rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "For all its Ozu associations, the film has melodramatic moments that Ozu himself would have scripted out."[3] Katie Walsh of IndieWire rated it B− and wrote, "Though not entirely successful, just the attempt itself is impressive."[4]
