A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Thicker than Water is

Here's a film that asks, "Can a printing company be a hotbed of repressed desire?" The owner pines for a client, her sister pines for the same client, and the client's ex-con brother is now in the mix. It is what it is: a low-key Japanese comedy about longing.
