Mini me, you complete me?


Like Father, Like Son (2013)

Written & directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda this film stars Masaharu Fukuama, Yoko Maki, Jun kunimura and Machiko Ono. Six years after the fact two couples from different economic backgrounds find out their sons were switched at the hospital.

Looking at classic questions like nature vs nurture and what it really means to be a parent this is a thoughtful film on the subject matter. I really enjoyed this film and it managed to handle an emotional situation without being melodramatic. Well made and well written it is no surprise to see someone wants to do an English language remake.

4/5
