A beautiful film -- possibly my favorite. Well written, well shot, well acted, well directed. The relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson is complex, to say the least, not sexualized, and unlike any I've seen in another film.

Characters are layered across the board. No one is perfect, and no one is trying to be.

The way Japan is presented also feels quite accurate -- the first time I stumbled around Tokyo felt very similar in terms of atmosphere.
