Review of Sweet Bean (2015) by Joey B — 21 Apr 2017
A beautiful offering from Japan, this 2015 film arrived to the U.S. a year later. Now available streaming online, it is one that I highly recommend to everyone who loves what seems like a simple story, but filled with so much heart you can spread a paste on it and munch it down! A friendship develops between an emotionally shut-down young man who runs a pancake quick-food stand and an elderly woman who is somewhat mysterious and as the story begins to develop along with their friendship, a look at a shameful past in Japanese history is revealed.
Note: iTunes, YouTube, Amazon, GooglePlay...plunk down the $3.99 and give your heart a sweetness it deserves.
