Quotes
Goh: Erika, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Goh: This is a song I wrote 15 years ago, for my uncle who had passed away, um... I sold it to a pharmaceutical company called Relatrix, so if you're prescribed to Relatrix, maybe this will sound familiar.
Goh: Anyway, this one's for you, Mr. Abe.

Better than I expected!

Listening to a song compels Rachel to wonder about her best friend growing up, Goh. A song performed by Goh at a funeral moves his partner to reconsider her life. And another part of Goh's past misses her music and puts her on a path to reconnect with him as well. The outcomes of each transforming their lives and sparking old memories and feelings.

I wonder if young people will get it but I thought it was an interesting plot that riffs on memory and music being so thickly intertwined. I thought it was touching and had great performances from the actors and best direction and writing. I don't really understand why black and white was a good fit for the film, but i really enjoyed the film regardless.
