Tomo, an 11-year old girl, is suddenly abandoned

Tomo, an 11-year old girl, is suddenly abandoned by her irresponsible mother. She is taken in by her uncle who is now living with a trans woman. Films about the transgender community are still largely absent in Japanese cinema. Instead of sensationalizing this non-traditional family unit, Naoko opted for a mild-mannered approach akin to the style of Hirokazu Koreeda‘s domestic family dramas. This approach does not blunt the emotional impact of the story. On the contrary, it makes each little gesture and unspoken word mean so much more. Close-Knit is a quiet little film that’s deeply touching and meaningful.

This movie is so slice of life it

This movie is so slice of life it hurts tbh. I personally love movies/films that bring up the LGBTQ community, this is probably the best represented by a Japanese movie. Also love the main lead actors, all of them did an outstanding job and I think this movie deserves more attention.
