Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad). I would love the way its paced, if it were a more interesting movie. This story is too boring for such a patient approach.
Cinematography: 4/4 (Great)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). This is my first Ozu film. My impression is that he's an excellent director and a godawful dull writer.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
