This film was able to convey its idea without using any useless special effects and this added to the realism of things. I found it to be a real good film and also it was an exquisite about the after life experience that lingers in the mind and in the senses for many days. It was considered to be a warm evocative film which had exploredd alot of memory, mortality and the sling of regret and ponders the ways in which we measue our own lives. After Life tends to glow with Koreedas appreciation for his characters.

My best film ever I think. I watched it so many times. There is an incredible poetic force. Make anyone think about their best memory and their afterlife.

Deep in my mind.

Is an OK movie.

Honestly, japanese film-making is awsome. I surely prefer it to any money-making american blockbuster. The film was able to convey it's idea without using any useless special effects and this added to the realism of things. It was a really good movie.

I watched After Life last night. I was moved by the old woman who used so few words but said more about her life than anyone else. Watanabe made me deeply sad and also to look at my own life differently.

A completely bizzare premise about selecting one golden moment in your life to have made into a movie which will stay with you for all eternity. With 22 lives to deal with, the audience has to be able to think, unlike most movies made today. How all these completely different personalities deal with life, love and death and how the movie manages to have not only 22 different endings but one cohesive one should make it a shibui masterpiece. How can an illusion be happiness?
