What stayed
The quiet shop setting, her bond with the older man and the small acts of care between people who might otherwise be overlooked.
← Film notes
Call Me Chihiro
A former outsider serves bento, notices lonely people and offers them kindness without turning it into a grand performance.
Why I recommend it
It is gentle without becoming empty and compassionate without becoming sentimental. A film about how simply noticing another person can sometimes be the kindest thing you do.
