Dir: Hirokazu Kore-Eda, Japan, 2011, 127 mins, Cert: CLUB, Language Japanese.
Starring: Koki Maeda, Oshirô Maeda, Kirin Kiki, Jô Odagiri.
This is a deeply considered Japanese family drama – moving, sometimes heartbreakingly sad, often mysterious. The film is about the powerful imperative of family unity, but also about the inevitability, and even desirability, of families finally disintegrating and allowing everyone involved a painful kind of freedom. With their parents having split up, a miracle is longed for by two brothers – the warring parents have taken a child each. I Wish is the moving and deeply satisfying work of a director who just keeps on getting better. – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
