what i like about this movie is how subtle it is, the fact that it tries so hard not to do something out of what ordinary people would do when they are caught up in a weird situation, such as when your child was intentionally changed at birth by an unhappy nurse. i also like how the difference in culture plays a huge role in storytelling, that i (a viewer from malaysia, who is used to watching hollywood crap and some good ones) instantly know that certain reaction emoted in the film is purely due to japanese people being japanese - because i know such a thing would not happen in a film made in hollywood.
and, even if you are not a parent, you will shed a little tear. i teared up, damned it!
