Great Storytelling

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2012)

This film restores my faith that once again, wonderful storytelling makes a film great and lasting, no amount of special effects or massive budget could have made this film better.
Departures is a deeply moving, reverent film about the restoration of relationships and the search for ones own meaning and purpose. Rarely does films tell the human story so humanely, as this touching film does.
Departures will grasp you emotionally and walk you hand in hand through life's most challenging portion...the end of someone's life you love.
What an astonishing Film!
