Japanese Story

With the Oscars just last night...here's one that I'd never seen pop up or mentioned anywhere until it showed up on our netflix list.
I finally watched it this week.
As Matthew would say,
"Ho.
Lee.
Shit."

Its been in our queue for at least the past year and I feel completely stupid its taken me this long to see it.
I've loved Toni Colette for a while now - US of Tara, Mary&Max, among others sealing that deal....but I seriously had no idea....

Japanese Story. 

If you don't want spoilers, don't click that link.

If you don't want spoilers and you clicked that link, close that shit.

If you want spoilers and probably will or won't watch that movie, read that shit.

I love surprises and this one surprised me.
Gotta give it 4 out of 5 deadman anchors.
And now I'm feeling a bit heavy and must move on to something more light of heart.
