"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. "

"Sometimes I think the greatest movie. Inexorable in its working out. Vittorio de Sica unbeatable as a WWII small time crook who goes along to get along and then finds himself having to be brave, not something he's ever wanted to be. The most horrific scene where a partisan is taken into a room to be tortured. Door shuts. Conversation goes on in a room outside, Nazi officer, collaborators, idle and casual, a few drinks, nothing heard from inside. Then the door opens. Has to be seen, this movie."

I couldn't get by without IMDb! I've had the app for as long as I've had a smartphone, and open it almost daily. What lesser-known projects have my favorite stars been involved in? Who's that up-and-comer who put in such a moving performance in my last watch? Which movies by the directors I follow are essential to be able to understand their repertoire? If you're even a very casual film buff, this is sure to be indispensable to you as you navigate movie culture!

First things first: I downloaded this as a free e-book from (I think) Project Gutenberg, and have actually been reading this for a while on an on-and-off basis - able to do so as this is really a collection of short stories rather than a novel in its own right.

It's also not hard to see why Sherlock Holmes is such a popular character: the mysteries are all entertaining, while the prose is not so dense as to be off-putting to the more casual reader.
