(aka Daremoshiranai: official Japanese site)
Caught this at the Arts Center. The film was delightful - the kids were so cute that I couldn't helping smiling. The whole film, in spite of all the tragic incidents, has a lightly happy and sweet feel to it. The kids' optimism radiates across so naturally that it is easy for the audience to forget how unfortunate they are. Nobody has a very different sentimentalism from say, The Grave of Fireflies (Chinese title: Goodbye Fireflies), which is similar in plot; but there are no teary sobs here, just peaceful toleration with all the crap that happens in life.
