Seat Etranger

A quiet remarriage unravels when a new pregnancy stirs old loyalties and unspoken distances. Set in unglamorous suburban Tokyo, the film leans on careful glances and domestic routines to show how families stretch and strain. Mid-2010s Japanese drama at its most reserved and observant.
