===================

On the road of life, we keep moving forward, but there is always a point where we are too late. It is already the end of summer, the crape myrtles in the yard are blooming brilliantly, and yellow butterflies are fluttering on the hillside. Yokoyama Ryota returned to his hometown on the Shonan coast with his wife and children. The long-lost Yokoyama family only reunites every year on the anniversary of the death of their eldest brother Junpei. They spend a seemingly ordinary day leisurely, drinking cool barley tea, red watermelon, their mother's delicious fried corn tempura, and takeout top-notch sushi and eel rice. However, what they carefully shared and tasted was the hidden sadness behind the laughter, the memories that were inadvertently touched in the cautious conversation and the unbearable disputes, and the secrets that were hidden in each other's hearts and never spoken...

★Life is so troublesome, so interesting, and so sad. At the same time, it is also such a beautiful thing. ——Author Kawakami Hiromi

★It's such an ordinary family story, but I couldn't stop laughing. No matter how small the things are, they can't escape Hirokazu Koreeda's eyes. This is my favorite movie! —— Writer Tetsuko Kuroyanagi

★It is so difficult for mothers in Japanese society, how troublesome, how dominant they are in all aspects, and sometimes they even have to be like a kind and amiable tyrant. But how memorable they are. Hirokazu Koreeda should be applauded. He used such concise characters and scenes to express such a real and warm little piece of Japan. ——Writer Shu Guozhi

★The story of "Still Walking" is like a home-cooked dish that you will never forget. You may think it is ordinary, but it is the most sincere taste of our food. —— Writer Han Lianglu

★ "Still Walking" is simply a collection of human relationship modules. In this story that never gets boring, you can definitely find father-son, mother-son, mother-in-law-in-law, and husband-wife relationships that are very similar to yours. These wonderful conversations may sound familiar, but now as an audience member listening, you will understand the pain of each relationship that is in opposition to you - this is a good-looking, interesting, and tearful story, just like a beautiful prose sketch that presents the simplest but surging epic standards of mankind! ——Writer Li Xinpin

★Through a small one-day family gathering, Hirokazu Koreeda accurately but not sensationally captures the most precious emotions between family members, slowly speaking out the words that cannot be said to relatives, or the words that are too late to say. Every sentence, every sentence, reveals regret, but at the same time finds a way out. Every plot in the story can feel the author's deep emotions, this is the best story in my heart. ——Director and screenwriter Lin Shuyu
