Tamako Love Story

Here's a film that knows its audience, and caters to it lovingly. High-schooler Tamako remains unmoved by the obvious affections of her childhood friend, who plans to attend university in Tokyo. The question is whether she'll figure things out before he leaves. It's cute, if you're into that sort of thing.
