"This film is so well observed and humane, like all of Kore-eda’s work. I love how it presents a rather mundane premise—a routine family get-together—then gradually reveals the immense emotional complexity that exists beneath its surface. There is such intense subtext that accompanies every interaction between each member of this family; every tiny moment of casual cruelty and guarded warmth carries huge emotional power. It’s all so specific to Kore-eda and simultaneously totally universal. I feel like he’s one of the world’s greatest filmmakers. "

"It’s not the best film ever, but it is beautifully done. It’s visceral and it’s beautifully made. I like David Fincher, I love his films anyway, but that film is, to me, the best of Fincher and what he really does well. It’s stylised but it’s smart. Even though it’s stylised, you feel that there’s a real character to it, it’s something very individual, and features another great Brad Pitt role. That and Twelve Monkeys are his best bits ever. Seven is fantastic as well, although I should stop clumping films together."

"All these stories piling together and crossing over — I think that is the simplicity of life — these five degrees of separation that divide us all. I think it was a great cast of people; it’s a good story. Films that I enjoy are films that tell stories and not necessarily on the bounds of believable, but in life, anything can happen. I like action films. I guess Pulp Fiction is fairly violent, but I’m an action film kind of guy. It depends on what I’m in the mood for when it comes down to it."

Mediocre acting
Trash TV, full of cliches
I wanted something easy to watch and I definitely got that. It was pretty boring and storyline are very obvious. I enjoyed the family aspect and seeing how quickly a storyline could come together, there was very limited hints towards the timescales. For example one of the characters mets a girl and suddenly there engaged and married. Also the final episode seemed to suddenly tie off all the loss ends, I can't see there being another season.
  
I'm so into the Rohan/Nava storyline with this but i really wanted to bang their heads together in this simply for being such blind idiots about their growing feelings for each other! Drio figured you both out, now we just have to wait for you two to catch up! That being said, i was getting equally pissed off with Rohan with how he was acting and some of the stuff he did. Ugh!!

That last bit though with the kiss! Shock, horror...

Off to start book 3!
