A fresh, funny and often sad look at the lives of four women struggling with grim economic conditions in post war Japan. The performances are all very striking, and the story unfolds in surprising ways. Crisp, clean photography and confident direction make this feature a worthwhile and at times very emotional viewing experience. AAA+++
